Would it be possible to change the memory required / allocated for
interfaces - or other nTop structures?

I'm using netflow and for reasons I won't go into in this thread I have
about 16 netflow devices (interfaces) configured - at least that's what
I'm trying to do.  I started out with 384MB of RAM and now have 640MB.
When I activate the netflow plugin it starts allocating memory until it
runs out and blows up with malloc erros.  Sometimes nTop dies and other
times it seems OK, but the netflow plugin never works right.

Why is this using so much RAM?  Even with each interface using 16MB of
RAM that's only 256MB total plus whatever the other structures need.

The machine I'm using is an old PIII-750 that uses PC100 DIMMS.
Unfortunately it only has (3) banks and I only have 256MB DIMMS laying
around.  I'll load them all and hopefully 768MB will be enough - just
seems like it should need this much memory

BTW: This is 3.2.something on FreeBSD 6.1.something.
