openbsd timing.cc coredump

[jungle-boogie]

OpenBSD current on nmap commit 6d8b899 results in a coredump when doing the following:

 $ nmap -sT 192.168.0.8  

Starting Nmap 7.25SVN ( https://nmap.org ) at 2016-07-23 11:56 PDT
assertion "diff <= interval" failed: file "timing.cc", line 440, function "update"
Abort trap (core dumped)

nmap/timing.cc

Line 440 in 799048e

assert(diff <= interval);

Fixed in d4f698b. We left in an error statement so we can figure out why this is happening in the first place, but you're right that it shouldn't cause a complete crash. Thanks!

worked one time:

$ nmap -sT 192.168.0.1

Starting Nmap 7.25SVN ( https://nmap.org ) at 2016-09-09 16:02 PDT

then core dump again:

$ nmap -sT 192.168.0.1

@jungle-boogie Apparently we fixed the wrong thing (which was also a reported bug), but this issue has actually been fixed in c104245 and 6352cb1.

@dmiller-nmap,

YES! this actually scans without a crash!!
