The problem is that Strobe runs out of file descriptors. It quickly hits the ceiling FD_SETSIZE at 1024 when probing a remote host, the executable being used on GNU/Linux or OpenBSD. This overrun even happens for "localhost" when executed on FreeBSD.
It can be noted that when scanning from a GNU/Linux system a single remote host, using the default timeout as in the official package, then 11263 iterations were executed in the loop inside wait_end(), and execution stopped only because the overall timeout period had ellapsed, not because the program had taken care of all outstanding attempts. I am gettting good results when drastically shortening the timeouts, but the problem with a thousand file descriptors must be solved, before the program can be called trustworthy or even secure.
