Version of Metasploit is v4.6.0-dev [core:4.6 api:1.0]

An msfupdate provided the below output:

Try to reproduce this in the Metasploit Framework console. I suspect this is an 
issue in the framework. Armitage's file import just opens a console and issues 
the db_import command. If you can reproduce it, file a bug with the Metasploit 
Framework team. I can do this, but it's a serious drain on my time to do so. If 
this is definitely an issue isolated to Armitage, let me know and I'll work it.

I have tested this in Metasploit and the problem seems to be in Armitage only. 
Below is the msfconsole output of my test:

msf > hosts -u

msf > db_import /root/test.txt

msf > exit

Excellent follow up. You're always getting 0.0.0.0 in your host view? I'm not 
able to reproduce this.

Here's what will help me understand what's happening:

1. Go to this site and download eval.cna:
https://github.com/rsmudge/cortana-scripts/tree/master/eval

2. Go to View -> Script Console in Armitage. 

3. Type:

load /path/to/eval.cna

4. Type:

x call("db.hosts")

Paste the output to me here. Also paste the output of the hosts command here 
too. db.hosts is how Armitage sees what is in the database.

My apologies for wasting your time, I restarted my BackTrack5 partition and was 
unable to reproduce the problem anymore.  Must be a one off as I could 
reproduce it many times prior to the reboot. My bad. Please consider this issue 
closed.  :(
