Cool I am actually one of the new project admins of the ettercap project. We're releasing 0.7.4-Lazarus soon. I may have actually e-mailed you the other day. Are you the one that’s on github keeping ettercap alive?
You can check pull down the project from out git, just make sure you're in the devel branch.

We are investigating this problem." My etter.conf has the ec_uid & gid set to 0 and the proper iptables redirs uncommented. I have experienced this issue with ettercap installs from both the Ubuntu repos & compiling from source. ulimit is set to unlimited: root@blank:~# ulimit -Ha core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 20 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 16382 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) unlimited virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited As a workaround I set my max threads to 123,456,789 up from 39K. It still ran out of resources after about 15 minutes. I am not a developer, but in reading up on pthreads, it looks like you have to specify "joinable" if you use pthread_join and the code does not appear to do this. However, I know nothing about pthreads and am still learning the basics of C.
