Hi Timo,

thanks for the very thorough bug report and for discussing it with
upstream.  I'm doing a bit of housekeeping of the nmap bugs and tried
to determine if this bug is still present.

According to upstream [1], this issue might have been mitigated by
newer versions of the Linux kernel, in particular since Linux version
3.9.  I also wasn't able to reproduce the issue myself (using nmap
7.60-1 and Linux 4.12).

Do you still have a similar setup and would you mind checking if that
problem is still present?

Thank you
Lukas
