It's actually not all the options wrapped into "-A" but just the "-sV" option.

"nmap -sC -O --traceroute localhost" works fine, but "nmap -sV localhost" returns the same error.

This also affects php, some regexps (see below) started throwing "Compilation failed: POSIX collating elements are not supported"


const RE_STRING = '\'(?:\\\\.|[^\'\\\\])*\'|"(?:\\\\.|[^"\\\\])*"'
'~^
(
(?P<name>\?|/?[a-z]\w*+(?:[.:]\w+)*+(?!::|\())| ## ?, name, /name, but not function( or class::
(?P<noescape>!?)(?P<shortname>/?[=\~#%^&_]?) ## [!] [=] expression to print
)(?P<args>.*?)
(?P<modifiers>\|[a-z](?:'.Parser::RE_STRING.'|[^\'"]+)*)?
()$~isx'
