Aye, it's not a showstopper, but it reduces the usefulness of packet 
tracing with connect scans on windows.
And it definitely does occur in 4.20 which is interesting given Robs 
observation (http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q3/0410.html)
"Running the exact same command with nmap 4.11, 4.21-A1, 4.22SOC2, 
4.22SOC3, 4.22SOC5 appears to work fine. This seems to have started with 
4.22SOC6."
