Strange NMAP 4.0 Behavior

I was just noticing when running an ICMP Echo scan (-PE) in NMAP version 4.00 that it seems to be including a SYN scan on all Service ports (-sS -F) scan as part of this scan type. I have witnessed this on 2 separate installs and systems, I couldn't find documentation that states this is a new default behavior. Has anyone else witnessed this strange behavior? If this is a new default behavior does anyone know if this behavior is defeatable? This seems like a bug to me, but I thought I would post here prior to submitting a bug report. -- Best Regards, Derek Nash ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
