You're correct, without this change I got:

nmap: nse_main.cc:529: void script_scan(std::vector<Target*, std::allocator<Target*> >&): Assertion `L_NSE != __null' 
failed.

when I tried "nmap -sV" with the preliminary patch.

This makes me wonder: when Nmap is built with NSE support, is there no
way to request the non-NSE-enabled -sV behavior from the command-line?
If so, this sounds like a shortcoming.

In fact, I did not expect -sV alone would enable NSE-enabled version
probing; I'd expect that to happen only with -A or the like.

I see that you have already committed this (revision 14423).  We'll use
your "upstream" patch for the Owl package, then.

Thank you!
