using --host-timeout with multiple hosts

[Ryan Giobbi <ryan () tgbemail com>]

When I use
nmap -sT <IP>* *--host-timeout 2m
the scan works and finishes

However, when I scan more IPs
nmap -sT -iL <IP_list>* *--host-timeout 2m
the scan times out (for the same IP) even though it was run from the same
host as the first.


Is this because nmap takes a longer time to scan some hosts when multiple
addresses are scanned?
