RE: nmap 6.01 requested address is not valid bug

["security-lists" <security-lists () fnci com>]

Ron,

Thanks.  Here are the results:

1. nmap -sS -O 192.168.1.0/24  <<< "hung" with no output for a "while" until
I             CTRL-C'd it.  But did not fail with same message.  

2. nmap -sS -O 10.250.1.91     <<< worked as expected!!!

3. nmap -sS -O 10.250.1.1-255  <<< worked as expected!!!

4. Non-RFC's works on v4.20 and v6.1.

5. Debugging:
C:\Documents and Settings\Me>nmap -vv -dd 10.250.1.0/24

QUITTING!

6. I overlaid pcap 4.1.2 with same version, no go.  Then I stepped-back all
the way to pcap v4.0, no go.

7. I removed nmap v6.1 and reinstalled nmap v4.20:

C:\Documents and Settings\Me>nmap -sP 10.250.1.0/24

I don't have handy any previous v6 binaries except v4.20.  I'd be happy to
test any v5 compiles.  But it does seem to be a new issue in later releases
from what v4.20 gives me.

For now, I'm happy to be able to scan with .1-255 syntax but ....

I can't reproduce. Running Win7 Starter and Nmap 6.01:

C:\Program Files\Nmap>nmap -sS -O 10.250.1.0/24

Starting Nmap 6.01 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-07-07 21:57 Pacific 
Daylight Time

Stats: 0:00:33 elapsed; 0 hosts completed (0 up), 256 undergoing Ping Scan
Ping Scan Timing: About 14.16% done; ETC: 22:00 (0:03:08 remaining)
...

Does this happen with other addresses? Non-RFC1918 addresses? Single 
hosts (not /24)? /24 if denoted as x.x.x.1-255 instead?
