it doesn't happen with ncat 5.21, that works fine.

5.20 has the same problem, in fact so does 5.00! i guess i never noticed
as i rarely use hostnames:

# nmap insecure.org

Starting Nmap 5.20 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-01-28 01:13 CET
Failed to resolve given hostname/IP: insecure.org.  Note that you can't
use '/mask' AND '1-4,7,100-' style IP ranges

# nmap insecure.org

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-01-28 01:16 CET
Failed to resolve given hostname/IP: insecure.org.  Note that you can't

i'll try to see if i can find an old fedora10 install and see if it has
the same problems with 5.x
