Look, I don't mind helping people, but you do have to give me and the rest
of the people monitoring this mailing list some basic information.

So, I'm going to serve notice that I will not reply to ANY "NTop has a bug"
messages unless you provide some reasonable information about your
configuration!

(If you don't like it, ask somebody else to support you... I don't think
it's unreasonable to ask it...  If you're uncomfortable giving specifics
(such as which mail server, then leave it generic))

Specifically:

  Hardware
     Type & # of processors (given in your msg)
     Amount of memory
     # network interfaces and types (vendor, bus, etc.)

  Software
     NTop version, source and any applied patches
     Linux vendor & version
     Any major upgrades (kernel, networking, etc.)
     gcc version (e.g. gcc --version)
     glibc version
     What else is running

   Network
     Roughly where are the interface(s) you're monitoring (Public Internet,
Private LAN, what?)
     What's the bandwidth (e.g. 10 Mbps University internet, 1.5 Mbps T1,
CableModem capped at 1.5Mbps, 56K dialup)
     How many machines (traffic sources/destinations) and users

So, for example, my setup:

  Hardware
     Pentium III 600 w/ 256MB RAM, one processor
     4 NICS (all PCI - 3Com and NetGear) - 1 snort, 1 external, 1 internal,
1 future

  Software
     NTop 2.0 as release with patches under development for statistics, etc.
     LinuxFromScratch v3.0-pre3 with most packages near current levels
     Kernel 2.4.13
     gcc 2.95.2.1
     glibc 2.2.1 w/ linuxthreads
     Also: mail server, private dns, ssh and snort

   Network
     External interface is "public internet" - CableModem, capped at 1.5
Mbps download, 128 Kbps upload.
     Internal network is home lan, 2 users (1 very light) and a variety of
machine

?s comments - let 'em rip!
