By the way, although it is not directly related to your problem, Nmap
can be very slow on a heavily firewalled machine, or when running UDP
scans. It tries really hard not to miss an open port.
I tried a hack in my nmap.nasl wrapper ("Auto" timing, only runs in
2.1.2) which should speed it up.

A problem with pcap on 2.6.6?
2.6.x are not very stable; I had problems with TCP on 2.6.8 and had to
switch back to 2.6.7
