I've looked at it, but not that sure what to look for.  Is there a spec
somewhere I can compare to?

Tried that.  No core that I can find.  I stuck it in /etc/default/ntop
(which is sourced into the init script).  I then ran ntop manually with it
set and no luck either.

I tried to increase the sample rate to 10000 so I didn't get more than one
report per second.  Then, on the console I ran it on, ntop stays up for a
while (probably waiting for the first sample), then I get a gazillion lines
of output all saying:

flow_sample_element length error (expected 0, found 4)
flow_sample_element length error (expected 0, found 4)

I'll keep looking, thanks.
