Bizarre.  I use ACLs in my kernel daily, and I use nmap almost daily, and
haven't seen this.  If you re-add ACLs with a fresh kernel build, does the
problem come back?  Could you look at ktraces of nmap with and without
ACLs and see what causes it?  Do you have ACLs enabled on any file
systems, or are you just running with the kernel option?
