Comment (by artkiver):

 Thanks for reporting this!

 It appears as if it's probably related to this issue identified upstream:

 https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/3127

 The workarounds:

 {{{
 --disable-arp-ping
 }}}

 Or:

 {{{
 --send-ip
 }}}

 Seem to function OK for me locally.

 It also appears as if a fix has been merged upstream here:

 https://github.com/yingxin-
 gh/nmap/commit/7c4e1bf58de4ade7c864e7694f4e20018f183057

 I guess we could provide a patch corresponding to that commit and rev bump
 if this is urgently needed?

 It might be better to just wait until upstream rolls a new version with
 the merged fix though.

 I'll defer to the maintainers for their preference.
