Windows NSE bug in latest SVN?

[Michael Pattrick <mpattrick () rhinovirus org>]

I was trying out the latest SVN when I hit a snag. It appears that
updatedb is broken on windows.

> .\nmap.exe --script_updatedb

Starting Nmap 4.85BETA8 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-04-24 20:14

NSE: Updating rule database.
NSE script database updated successfully.
Nmap done: 0 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 2.53 seconds

> .\nmap.exe --script=all 192.168.1.1

NSE: failed to initialize the script engine:
...Studio 2008\Projects\nmap\mswin32\Debug\nse_main.lua:324:
nonFTP.nse is not a file!

QUITTING!

When I opened the script.db file I discovered an escape at the
beginning of every filename.
Entry { category = "auth", filename = "\anonFTP.nse" }
Entry { category = "default", filename = "\anonFTP.nse" }
Entry { category = "intrusive", filename = "\anonFTP.nse" }
Entry { category = "discovery", filename = "\asn-query.nse" }
Entry { category = "external", filename = "\asn-query.nse" }

I also had a friend test this out with the latest beta and he
encountered the same bug.

Cheers,
Michael
