Hi Peter,

> Well - I'm afraid you have to properly split the flow-tools file beforehand.

Yep, I hacked together a script to do so using flow-nfilter to split
based on the end time of the flows.  I'm attaching it here in case
someone else needs to do the same and would like some inspiration.

However, I've now stumbled upon yet another problem - it seems the
router ID and next hop are lost when converting using ft2nfdump - using
"nfdump -s router" or "nfdump -s nhip" on converted files will just give
0.0.0.0 as the only available record.  Also I've noticed that when I use
"nfdump -A router" or "nfdump -A next" on such converted data I just get
a random value every time - it probably reads it from uninitialised memory.

I'm hoping to have a colleague who's a better coder than me look into
these things, hopefully we'll be able to submit a patch for them shortly.

Ugly and manual is infinitely better than impossible.  :-)  Thank you!
