Mac OS X crash

Hi,

I've compiled nmap 4.01 on a MacBook Pro (Intel!) running OS X 10.4.6. Configure and compiling seemed to correctly pull the architecture (as have most GNU/open source tools I've worked with so far [e.g., ethereal and the GTK+ backend stuff].

Nmap itself runs cleanly with basic flags, e.g.,
        nmap -v <host|net>
But if I ask more of it, e.g., add a -A or -O, it gets past the initial port scan and then barfs with a "Caught SIGSEGV" abort.

Though it's a bit beyond me, I'm sure Fyodor and others will be able to make more use of my crash log, which Apple's happily generate in such situations. So here's the log of each attempt so far.

It may also be related to the hosts I've been scanning (e.g., my Linksys WiFi) to test, so I will take it to work and run it in my lab there to learn more.

If there's additional info I should provide, just let me know, and I'll try to supply it as soon as I can.
