The output looks something like: ICMP TTL Exceeded message when sending to X.Y.147.215, possible network loop, try increasing TTL with --ttl
Have you (or other people) actually seen many cases where increasing the TTL with --ttl resolves the problem? If so, we could increase the default Nmap TTL. But I figured it was high enough that TTL exceeded notices are probably due to loops which would simply loop more with a higher TTL.
