I have the problem when I run a scan using UMIT, and also when I use 
Nmap on the command line and pass UMIT the XML output.

I killed UMIT through an xterm (using the default SIGTERM), and Nmap was 
still running.  Python can catch signals and all that, can't it? 
SIGTERM isn't a "fatal" signal like SIGKILL, and is usually caught by 
programs to exit cleanly.  SIGINT, SIGHUP and a couple others are 
usually caught as well.

Okay, cool.
