TypeError: execv() arg 2 must contain only strings + line wrapping issue?

[tokyoneon]

I'm experiencing some strange line wrapping issues while using interactive mode (with an unmodified brutespray.py):

./brutespray.py --file tokyoneon.gnmap -i

Gnmap:

    > cat tokyoneon.gnmap 
# Nmap 7.70 scan initiated Thu Apr 12 2018 as: nmap -sVTU -p21,22,137,161 -oG tokyoneon.gnmap 192.168.1.103

Also, I tried messaging @x90skysn3k and @jrobles-r7 on Twitter regarding the article I'm working on (unrelated to this Git issue).

Actually, it's happening with normal commands as well.

Wish we could get to the bottom of the inconsistencies I've been experiencing. It's pretty frustrating. Are you not able to replicate?

I think the issue stems from a change @x90skysn3k made during this commit, because I downloaded the previous verison and brutespray is working again.
