["Lawrence Waterhouse" <lawrence.waterhouse () gmail com>]

Hi folks,

Platform is WinXP here, I am getting this error when launching a
Script Scan (-sC)

SCRIPT ENGINE: Initiating script scanning.
LUA INTERPRETER in ..\nse_init.cc:711: error loading module 'bit' from file 'd:\
tools\nmap\nselib\bit.dll':
        system error 14001

Just verified with SOC6, had the same error.
