Here is a small patch that provides following improvements (bug fixes)
when "--resume" option is called with a normal output file (previously
generated with "-oN"):

 1) When parsing file, search for nmap header string "Nmap scan report
    for" instead of "Interesting ports on" (cf. previous post in the 
    current thread).

 2) Find later IP by using the string "Nmap scan report on *" where "*"
    can be "hostname (ip_addr)" or "ip_addr" depending on whether DNS 
    reverse lookup occured or not.

As this is my first Nmap patch, tell me if it needs more comments or 
whatever ! :)

Regards,
vladz.
