Hi Patrick,

Although I'm not 100% sure about this particular error message, I can 
tell you that Nmap's chunked encoding is pretty buggy right now. 
Specifically, it's using regular expressions where it shouldn't be, and 
on occasion the wrong thing is being matched. Joao has been working on 
bringing it up to par, but it isn't quite ready yet.

Ron
