Re: nmap 4.00 -sV ... ServiceProbeMatch::InitMatch: parse error

Hi Marc,

That's pretty strange. Is it possible that you're using a service
probes file from a different version of nmap?

Here's a quick way to find out which probes file you're using:

# nmap -sV -d2 localhost |grep Fetch
Fetchfile found ./nmap-service-probes

In my nmap 4.00 tarball line 44 of nmap-service-probes is a comment
so it's particularly baffling!

Doug
