nmap -A -sSUCV --script '(discovery or default or safe)' T:1-65535,U:(top
75 UDP ports)  --reason --open -oA nmap-output <targets>

I'm afraid I didn't look at the scan phase it was on (had kicked off the
scan and went home for the night).

During a scan last night, nmap failed with the following error:

Socket troubles: Too many open files
Socket troubles: Too many open files
nmap: nsock_core.c:1187: nsp_add_event: Assertion `nse->iod->sd >= 0'
failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

It was a full TCP/partial UDP scan of about 70 internet hosts.  Any other
information I can provide?  I'm unfortunately not sure I'll be able to
run
the scan again to try to replicate.

Hello,

thanks for the report. Which parameters did you use on the command
line? Do you know when (in term of scan phase) does the crash happen?

regards.
