Elrich,

Thank you for your bug report. Support for Windows users is important
to the Nmap project, and we have received several reports of crashes
on Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to reproduce
this crash. Please provide more information about your system so we
can diagnose and fix this problem:

1. output of nmap --iflist

2. Which of these (or all) commands crashes Nmap?
a. nmap -sn scanme.nmap.org
b. nmap -Pn scanme.nmap.org
c. nmap -sn 192.168.1.1 (or some other local-LAN address)
d. nmap -Pn 192.168.1.1

3. Is there anything else unusual about your Nmap install? Are you
using the executable installer or the zipfile? Are you running with
any special privileges or restrictions?

4. Is there anything special about your Windows installation that we
should know? What edition (RT, Home, Pro, Enterprise)? Any security
software (antivirus, firewall, etc.)? Specialized hardware?

Thank you so much for your feedback. With your help, we hope to have
this problem solved quickly.

Dan
