nfdump can only process standard v9 flow, regardless which device is sending 
the data. ASA platforms have a very own
extension of v9 for reporting events about blocked traffic etc. These 
extensions are not supported except by the special
version nfdump-1.5.7-nsel with patches, donated from CISCO. They will be 
integrated into nfdump-1.6 for the next release.

This means that standard v9 flows from ASA devices are processed as expected, 
but special flows from ASA are not. I
guess it depends on the ASA config, but I'm not an ASA expert.

But all that said, nfdump should not throw an exception with unknown flows. 
I'll check that.
