Control: reassign 1094138 nmap

Hi there!

I ran the udptunnel test in a s390x testbed without udptunnel, I only used
ncat, and sometimes, it fails.

I write some scripts [1] to help with the ncat tests. I ran for 100 times
the script "test-ncat-udp-series.sh", resulting in 10k tests.
[1] https://people.debian.org/~talau/tmp/test-ncat-udp

10k tests (using "test-ncat-udp-series.sh") results in a porterbox s390x:
- Fail: Avg: 3.01%, StdDev: 2.15636

10k tests (using "test-ncat-udp-series.sh") results in a porterbox amd64:
- Fail: Avg: 0.12%, StdDev: 0.381576

After the tests, I decided to make tests changing ncat client to socat client,
scripts (test-ncat-udp_socat-client-series.sh, test-ncat-udp_socat-client.sh).
Below the results:

10k tests (using "test-ncat-udp_socat-client-series.sh") results in a
porterbox s390x:
- Fail: Avg: 0.0%, StdDev: 0

10k tests (using "test-ncat-udp_socat-client-series.sh") results in a
porterbox amd64:
- Fail: Avg: 0.0%, StdDev: 0

Analyzing the results, it can be seen that communication using ncat-client and
ncat-server presents failures. By changing ncat-client to socat, communications
no longer present failures. This indicates to me that ncat (in client mode) has
some bug.
