called, the return value was being divided by 1000.0, which had the same
effect but would overflow when the difference exceeded about 25 days

dns-nsec-enum script, originally by John Bond and improved by him and
me.
Changes in dns.lua:
Add dnssec option to dns.query that adds an OPT RR with the DO (DNSSEC
okay) flag set.
Add answer fetcher for NSEC records (unused currently).
Add decoder for NSEC records.
Add rudimentary handling of the additional section in dns.encode.
Add a check that a decoder exists before trying to call it.
Also added a copy of the simplified BSD license that the new script is
under.
o Nmap no longer searches for data files (like nmap-services) in the
current directory as a last resort. This is to reduce the chance of
accessing an unexpected file in case the system-installed data files
are not found. The main reason for searching the current directory
was to support running ./nmap from a source directory. This is now
supported by searching the directory containing the Nmap executable
for data files. On non-Windows platforms, the executable directory
followed by "../share/nmap" is also searched. Thanks to Solar

then looks in the scripts subdirectory, then in the current directory.
cnse.fetchfile_absolute now checks for an absolute path, then calls
nmap_fetchfile if that fails (and no longer looks in scripts/). Use
cnse.fetchscript when accessing files that should be in the scripts
subdirectory.
