--defeat-rst-ratelimit behavior when scanning OS X

[J Marlow <joshmarlow () gmail com>]

Hi all,
David asked me to look into the behavior of the --defeat-rst-ratelimit
option when scanning OS X systems.
I did a SYN scan against with the --defeat-rst-ratelimit option and get:

Increasing send delay for 10.0.0.2 from 0 to 5 due to 218 out of 725
dropped probes since last increase.

Or something to that effect.  It seems to be slightly sporadic (not
all runs show an increase, but some do).
So --defeat-rst-ratelimit appears to be broken...sometimes.  Has
anyone else encountered this before?
Thanks,
Josh
