o Fixed name resolution in environments where gethostbyname can return IPv6 (or other non-IPv4 addresses). In such an environment, Nmap would wrongly use the first four bytes of the IPv6 address as an IPv4 address. You could force this, at least on Debian, by adding the line "options inet6" to /etc/resolv.conf or by running with RES_OPTIONS=inet6 in the environment. This was reported by Mats Erik Andersson, who also suggested the fix. [David]
Here is some documentation for Nmap, but these files are much less comprehensive than what you'll find at the actual Nmap documentation site ( http://nmap.org ).
