CCing both feedback submitters. Once of you tested on 12, the other on 13. Can you please try each other's tests?
Hi, I just tested your rpms on fedora 12 again. It looks last time I was not thorough enough. :( I still get segfault for simetimes. But I feel it much better, than before the patch. (really!) Now it rarely crash (I am scanning 4095 hosts). Before the patch it crashed every time.
So it sounds like a step in the right direction, at least. I'll push this to stable, since it's an improvement, but keep the bug open for now.
I tried on f12 here and didn't get a segfault, but then I have very few hosts and it's running on a virtual. So, sounds like it might be large number of hosts or just sporadic?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
