Hi,

For some reason the -f switch crashes the system only if you use the
loopback IP or the IP assigned to your box.
The -f switch works fine if you use it on a IP besides your own (tried
it against a server I have).

# nmap -f 127.0.0.1

(crashes)
(then drops to the kernel debugger I think)
I did:
boot reboot

# nmap -f 192.x.x.x

(same thing but with a different error)
boot reboot

By this point I was wondering if the -f switch worked at all
So:

# nmap -f 192.x.x.x (my server IP)

blah blah blah.

(works just fine)


Can someone test this out and see if it works for them?
