[Ntop] Ntop 3.3 crashing on RHEL 4

I have approximately 85 machines.
I'll try your suggestions. I am thinking it might be caused by one user running Maxthon browser. Our problem did not show up until this particular user started viewing Ntop with Maxthon. This user did not use that browser today and Ntop stayed up. 
Thanks for the assistance.

How many hosts / flows are you monitoring?  Your dnscache doesn't seem
that big - mine is sometimes 700MB.

Maybe try using http only  - not https.  Make it as simple as possible.
Also, check the FAQ for some switches to enable more verbose logging: -t
-k 5, etc.

Ntop is crashing on me after a shorter and shorter period of time. 
2 errors and warnings are showing up in log.

 **ERROR** Buffer too short @ webInterface.c:646 (increase to at least
1081)

warning: can't get client address: Bad file
descriptor

I saw in another posting to delete the dnsCache.db file and restart. It
was 7.9MB. 
Here are my startup options 
.ntop -d -L -d -i eth1 -w 0 -L --https-server 8443 -u ntop

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
