It really seems to be a problem inside lua-lpeg (0.12.2-1) found in Xenial, and seemed to have been fix (reading the upstream bug) in 1.0.0 found in Bionic and late.
Which also explain why when tried with Bionic the issue was not reproducible. # rmadison lua-lpeg | 0.12.2-1 | xenial lua-lpeg | 1.0.0-2 | bionic/universe lua-lpeg | 1.0.0-2 | disco/universe lua-lpeg | 1.0.0-2 | eoan/universe Reference: http://lua.2524044.n2.nabble.com/LPeg-intermittent-stack-exhaustion-td7674831.html https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/478 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580385 Title: /usr/bin/nmap:11:hascaptures:hascaptures:hascaptures:hascaptures:hascaptures To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nmap/+bug/1580385/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
