Try the 22Apr2002 snapshot (http://snapshot.ntop.org/tgz/ntop-02-04-22.tgz)
There were some fixes for the 100% usage problems around the 12th, but I don't remember the exact dates. Also, a couple of segfaults have been fixed, out of range error messages, etc. Lastly, 22Apr2002 includes the backtrace patch, so it might give us information about where ntop is dying... -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Devon Harding - GTHLA Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 4:04 PM To: 'Burton M.
