[Ntop-dev] Ntop 3.2 Buffer too short?

[Jose Leitao]

Hello,

Well I downloaded the tgz for ntop 3.2, did the regular ./configure 
(--with-localedir=/usr/share/locale/ --enable-i18n) , make and make 
install, no problems so far. My system is Debian Testing (gcc 4.0.2). I 
started ntop with the following command: /usr/local/bin/ntop -i eth1 -n 
-u ntop and everything seemed to be fine, except that after 1 day (23 
hours to be precise), each time I enter the web interface and request 
information (mostly the Network Throughput section), the syslogd starts 
showing this:

Oct 25 10:15:39 monitor ntop[2833]:   **ERROR** EPIPE during sending of 
page to web client

-2(stream error)

reportUtils.c:3717 (increase to at least 139)

If I kill ntop and start again, the errors disappear but after a couple 
of hours, they are back again, any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance, ntop is a great tool
