Initmatch error with 5.51

[John Hutchison <heimdal () athetius com>]

Hello,

Whilst playing with Nmap I tried to scan my computer using the -A
switch to which I received this error:

$ nmap -v -A localhost

Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-08-23 23:48 CDT

InitMatch: illegal regexp on line 118 of nmap-service-probes (at
regexp offset 25): POSIX collating elements are not supported

QUITTING!

I thought the problem was from my distro (ArchLinux), and downloaded a
copy of the stable release, decompress it and did a diff of the two
files (/usr/share/nmap/nmap-service-probes
~/nmap-5.51/nmap-service-probes) and I received no output, assuming
that means they are the same. I even tried to move the file and backup
Arch's version but I get the same error.

Just thought I would give you a heads-up, I tried googling but nothing
came up so I have come to you guys. I wish I knew what was going on to
at *least* give you a patch.
