Description
Ubuntu 16.0, using latest nmap(7.70) + 4.12 version of proxychains-ng
Causes an error in nmap
nmap: netutil.cc:1379: int collect_dnet_interfaces(const intf_entry*, void*): Assertion rc == 0' failed.`
The crash is nmap's fault but not sure why this would fail after proxychain inserts itself.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with Ubuntu 16.0, nmap 7.70, and proxychains-ng 4.12, then inspect nmap's netutil.cc at line 1379 and the proxychains interaction around the reported assertion. Done means identifying the proxychains-triggered incompatibility and confirming that nmap no longer crashes.
