Contacted the kernel developers. It's a kernel bug that has been fixed
in the 2.6.10pre

Issuing a 'nmap -sT -p 1-50000 127.0.0.1' for a few times on a 2.6.9
Linux kernel can cause the machine to freeze (nmap 3.75 on a 2.6.9
Gentoo box).

I can confirm that. Same here with fedora core 2 + vanilla 2.6.9
I suggest to contact the kernel mailing list to solve that.
