Another bug with the "--resume" option is that the Nmap header has
recently changed from string "Interesting port on" to "Nmap scan report
for" (release r15916), so it seems that this option just can't work
with normal output files (generated with "-oN"), nevertheless it is
still working fine with grepable output files (-oG).

I am currently making a patch for this and at the same time for the bug
reported by Till. I will probably sent it tomorrow.

vladz.
