Here's what I'm getting in /var/log/messages when ntop is started with the following command from 4/12 snapshot.  Ntop seems to be using ~90% processor time and I cannot connect to web page:     [root@server /root]# ntop -u ntop -n -r 300 -p /etc/ntop/protocol.list -i eth1 -t 5 -P /etc/ntop -S 2 -b localhost:4000     18/Apr/2002 19:13:44 [sql.c:50] Open channel with ntop SQL client running @ localhost:4000 Wait please: ntop is coming up... 18/Apr/2002 19:13:44 [initialize.c:119] Initializing IP services...
