[Ntop] FBSD crash: how can I help?

[Burton Strauss]

Doubt it ... it's the result, not the cause.  You'd just nail something
else.  See static data like that is initialized once in a static data
segment.  Somehow we are going outside of the bounds and trashing it.  Just
changing things like that wouldn't fix the problem - it might become more
obvious or less obvious.
 
Using one of the --with-memorydebug= options to ./configure (./autoGen.sh)
might be a better way to go, but I don't know which of the options will work
under FreeBSD...

So the data segment (li values) are still being corrupted.  What we need to
do is put a breakpoint on that data.  Unfortunately if you move it out of
the function so that it's static and could be breakpointed, it wouldn't be
the same code...  I'm not sure what to do.
 

we could remove gator and see what happens.. or put mutex around it
(assuming multi-threaded corruption?)
