Back in #1240, r1eo linked to information about how this could happen
with older Linux kernels in response to nmap. Bugs #4545 and #4547
are about how our approach to trying to deal with this condition was
broken and stupid. Thanks to wanoskarnet for reminding us about #1240.
This is a fix for the abovementioned bugs, and is a bugfix on
0.1.0.3-rc.
