NMap 3.30 -O issues

[cc <cc () belfordhk com>]

Hi,

I'm having some weird 'anomalies' with
3.30.  For two particular workstations
during one of my security port checks,
I managed to crash these two workstations
using the 'nmap -O' command.  I
get a BSOD when I run the command.

The workstations (both) run Win98 under
a Novell netware client setup.

The BSOD shows:

An exception 0E has occurred at 0028:00000017
in VxD ---.  This was called from 0028:C001C404
in VxD NDIS(01) + 00004860.

*********

I'm curious as to whether or not this means
the drivers are screwed up or something
else is happening.  After crashing the
system, here's what I get from Nmap
3.30 (and Nmap win 1.10 using V2.54beta31):

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA31 ( www.insecure.org/nmap )
Interesting ports on Station7 (192.168.9.7):
(The 1063 ports scanned but not shown below are in
state: closed)
Port            State           Service
2/tcp           filtered        compressnet
3/tcp           filtered        compressnet
...

and up to

61441/tcp       filtered        netprowler-sensor

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 120 seconds.

I run nmap 3.30 from a Linux 2.4.21 workstation.  I ran NMapWin 1.10
from a W2KPro station.

The curious thing is, these two workstations aren't the only
ones using Win98.  There's at least two more which use
Win98, but don't BSOD on me.  It's these two particular
ones that do.

Can someone point out (short of reinstalling Windows) how I
might solve this issue?

Thanks.
