2) Each thread for a script has it's own action closure and environment
Hi Patrick,

Quick question.  Does 2) above mean that with the changes in your
branch, the only way to share variable values between threads of the
same script is using nmap.registry and not by declaring the variables
outside of action() (as is currently possible)?
This is certainly the behaviour I observe in your branch and I'm just
checking that this is expected.

Yes, please see: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q2/0549.html

It is also technically possible to share results through the true
global environment (_G), but it is strongly recommended against.

Cheers,
