Denis,

This error means that there is a NULL character in a filename that we're
trying to open. I'm not sure why this would be, but you should be able to
fix the crash by deleting the "%USERPROFILE%\.zenmap\recent_scans" file. If
you wouldn't mind sending a copy of that file in response to this message,
we can check if there's anything we need to do to better handle this case.
It should just contain a list of recent Nmap XML files separated by
semicolons.

Dan
