One uses explicit listening address for netcat in some extra places, the other does not. Apparently the older netcat versions didn't require the explicit addresses. Not supplying addresses doesn't test anything useful though, just a detail in netcat's behaviour. So, it's cleaner to just always supply explicit addresses. In addition, we're explicitly expecting the nmap version of ncat, also known as "ncat". So, it's more explicit what we're after if we invoke it via that name rather than "nc", which will go via an /etc/alternatives link.

QUITTING. because with ncat(1) '-p' doesn't specify the listening port -- I see that you changed this to the right version for tests under 'pasta/', that works fine. I fixed this up (together with the other occurrences), re-running tests now, I can merge the fix-up directly. -- Stefano
