possible nmap bug

["Kieran Combes" <kieran.combes () gmail com>]

Hi

I can't find any information about about this issue so don't know if
it's been raised already. I've run nmap 4.75 and 4.76 under OSX 10.5.5
and they both have intermittent problems routing scans. this problem
occurs when i scan address on my local subnet and external ones.
Simple scans seem to work fine but more complex ones fail.

Warning: Unable to open interface vmnet8 -- skipping it.
Warning: Unable to open interface vmnet1 -- skipping it.

QUITTING!

Pings to the same address work fine, also i get the same result if i
don't specify the interface to use.
