Package: ntop
Version: 3:3.3-11+b2

If I leave ntop running in a browser, it eventually reloads. After
some time, the ntop server starts to complain loudly and rejects the
requests:

I don't think there is anything I did wrong or that there's
a security event going on. It seems like the buffer is simply too
small. This may be due to IPv6, but I am not sure.

In any case, I'd appreciate if ntop didn't get quite so loud about
this problem and wouldn't reject subsequent requests. What do I have
to do to prevent it from thinking that I have malicious intents?
