This fixes the following bug: When scanning with an Ethernet handle (as opposed to raw sockets), only the first host in an OS scan group would get a result. All others would be blank fingerprints with R=N for every probe. This was first noticed on Windows because Ethernet is the default sending method, but it affects other platforms with --send-eth.
That's great news, and hopefully matches what I saw today: I could only get expected results when I set --max-hostgroup to 1; any other value would give me unusual results (some were less accurate, some had "No OS match"). I also tested a few versions of Nmap going right back to Nmap 4.20, which exhibited the same problem. I'll try compiling and testing the latest revision over the weekend.
