This allowed Nmap's internal count of sockets to be less that the true count of open sockets. It would eventually try to open too many sockets and quit with the message Socket creation in sendConnectScanProbe: Too many open files (24) Be aware that in this message 24 is the errno, not the number of open files.
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 ).
