Hey Alistair!

I think this line in your example should be changed ;)

> % flow-cat -m 1000 >> test1

...to

> % flow-gen -n 1000 >> test1

...but I get what you mean, and I think your diagnosis is a thorough
proof of the behavior I described. It's not the fault of flow-tools,
but rather something that I think should be described somewhere, since
the '>' shell operator is used in examples rather often, but '>>'
should be avoided!!

Yes, that's a good solution. Now I just need to recompile since the
Debian maintainers apparently left out support for large files. Does
anybody know why they'd do that? Is there some catch here? Should I
rather split filtered flows into a lot of small files because of
performance? For me it makes perfect sense to just store everything in
one file, since I need it all at once...
