I am not able to run nmap as root (--send-ip works, however) on OpenBSD 4.5 -stable. Compiled it with a ./configure, make and make install. Zenmap works very well with OpenBSD's Python 2.5.4 package. Also tried OpenBSD -current as of 1430 hours CDT July 22, 2009 with the same results.

As a regular user,

server11$ nmap -v -A server2.sankars.local

As Brandon suggested, I think this is caused by the target operating
system sending its ARP replies to the broadcast address instead of
sending them unicast to the sending address. I committed a fix for this
in r14498; please try it.

What operating system and version is the target? So far this has been
reported when scanning Windows 7 and Solaris 10. The operating system
detection says this is OpenBSD.
