struct not being set in any of the pcap functions. Because of this,
the callback routines would attempt to use a NULL pointer for the lua_State *
and would then SEGFAULT.

python-dev package in a certain error situation. Previously the
error message it printed was misleading:
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.6/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
The change was suggested by Aaron Leininger.
Found whacked packet protocol 17 in get_ping_pcap_result
and rewrite it
Received packet with protocol 17; ignoring.
The message is printed when we receive a packet we can't use during a
ping scan, but it's not "whacked" to receive a UDP packet during a TCP
scan for example.
should prevent name collisions with internal but exported functions
in shared libraries Nmap links against (e.g. adler32() in zlib).
Such collisions seem to confuse the runtime linker on some platforms.

different bytes in a few X11 fields. I've made the match more
generic. I have a feeling that the X11 fields might contain useful
information that we could include in i// but I don't know enough about
X11 to do that myself.
"\n" from a few error() calls. Changed a few f?printf() calls to
error() or log_write().
Most notably, I didn't change any of the --interactive printf()s or
the usage printf() call.
I think we should draw up some internal notes on when to use
LOG_STDOUT versus LOG_PLAIN versus all the other LOG_* options.
by collapsing them to a single .* and making sure that the DOTALL
(PCRE s modifier) is set on the match. This should dramatically cut
down on cases where MATCHLIMIT is returned. See
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q2/0086.html for a discussion. I
chose to only use .* in this patch even though .*? will be faster in
some cases. I felt the speed benefit of .*? did not outweigh the
relative obscurity of lazy quantifiers. I have some ideas on how
audit matches for performance and some ideas on optimizations that can
be done. .*? and friends will have wait.
