Wow.  What type of max_parallelism do you use?  Is it always reliable
for you?

OK, I've killed the fascist socket limitations for the next version of
Nmap (which I hope to have out this weekend).  Nmap will now whine a
bit if you specify more than 900 (!), but it will do as you say.  It
also has a few other little features, like IPv6 support and being
restructured for C++ :).
