Please build from Subversion on AIX. There were many AIX portability
fixes that were not in version 5.51. See the instructions here please:
http://nmap.org/book/install.html#inst-svn

We have a report that there is still a bug on AIX 5.3 with regard to
Ethernet sending: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q1/119. Please let
us know if this affects you too.
