Running nmap 3.93 on FreeBSD 5.3 as follows:

The probe-hosts.txt file has a list of 30 hosts.

After about 18 hours of running, nmap kills itself with:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  St9bad_alloc
Abort trap (core dumped)

Weird.  If you have a chance, could you try it with 3.94ALPHA1
(http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2005/Oct-Dec/0123.html) combiled
with debugging symbols (and, ideally, edit Makefile to remove -O2
right before you 'gmake')?  Maybe you could then try to reduce the
problem by removing options/targets until you find the simplest test
case that reproduces the problem?  I certainly want Nmap to work well
on FreeBSD.

Thanks,
Fyodor
