That is odd.
Scan with nmap and compare the results.

Subject: Port Scanning Issues

A Chairde,

   Havin, some issues with scanning stacks on my system.

1. Using Superscan4 ,  I scan stack UDP-TCP 1-65534 , Sometimes I 
get no ports open , another time I get 49159 UDP Ports open, only get port
report, no attempt made to open any ports ... , when get open ports , I
always get 49159 UDP Ports ...... , use the scanner at 250msecs , takes
around 16 hours to finish.

2. Using Languard, Nessus and Retina , get different scans from each tool,
any ideas why, how do I find out real ports open.. differences can be 10,000
ports
