Nmap 2.12

[Fyodor <fyodor () dhp com>]

Nmap 2.12 is now available ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ).  The most
important change is that -sT now uses a different method to determine the
results of a non-blocking connect() call.  This is SUPPOSED to make nmap
more portable, but it is possible that some systems will not like the new
method.  Please let me know if the upgraded breaks -sT for you.

Here is the CHANGELOG entry:

-- Changed the way tcp connect() scan determines the results of a
   connect() call.  Hopefully this will make nmap a little more
   portable.

-- Got rid of the security warning message for people who are missing
   /dev/random and /dev/urandom due to complaints about the warning.
   This only silences the warnings -- it still uses relatively weak
   random number generation under Solaris and other systems that lack
   this functionality.

-- Eliminated pow() calls on Linux boxes.  I think some sort of glibc
   bug was causing nmap to sigsegv in some cases inside of pow().
   Most people weren't affected, but those who were would almost
   always SIGSEGV with -O.

-- Fixed an rpm problem noted by Mark Smith <marks () senet com au>

Cheers,
-F
