I'm using ntop version 2.0.99 from 04/12/02, it now daemonizes fine, I'm using the netflow plugin as my only data source, it continues to consume memory until finally crashing. I'm using minimal options to launch it, ./ntop -u root -d, I've got 512MB and it gets up until about 50% before dying. I read it keeps a hash in memory of the traffic records, it either isn't freeing that on mine, or I'm running Ntop incorrectly, or it has a severe memory leak, any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated. I did get some info in syslog, about the crash, I'll paste some of the relevant info, looks like after it hits 32768 hash size, it goes crazy, does about 5000 lines in syslog in 30 seconds and dies.
