That would explain it.  I'm guessing this machine was some sort of
software like P2P or Skype.  Is there a way to change the scanner so it
only fires alerts when 100 hosts have been scanned on a single port?  
It seems P2P type applications tend to fire a lot of scan
notifications.  The other ones I see a lot are the Apple servers.  Maybe
people connecting to them for updates?
