There could be a 64-bit problem.  Our setup has some 32-bit collectors that
feed (among other things) a 64-bit cruncher.  Building out the 64-bit
cruncher lead me to finding some 32-bit vs. 64-bit bugs:

But I haven't had to deal with flow-capture on 64-bit....

Is anybody out there running flow-capture on amd64/x86_64 or another 64
bit platform?

I think the easiest way to start looking at this would be to run
flow-capture under a memory debugger of some sort, like efence 
(Electric Fence Malloc Debugger).
