I think that that 96 Meg of RAM is enaught. I think that because NTop and
none of my other processes don't use any SWAP space.
That is memory usage without NTop:
cerber:/# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 95788 93676 2112 63128 5912 41056
-/+ buffers/cache: 46708 49080
Swap: 400256 0 400256
And that is memory usage just before crash:
cerber:/# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 95788 92848 2940 63128 7296 38316
-/+ buffers/cache: 47236 48552
Swap: 400256 0 400256

Still the same problem.

I've tried it. And... i have still the same problem. I don't know is it my
imagination, or something, but with that patch NTop is little more
stabble.
I have one more question:
WARNING: both Ethernet and IP addresses are NULL <- what does it mean?
And after patching NTop i have some of this:
02/Jan/2002 23:01:51 Index error idx=38 @ [pbuf.c:2655]
02/Jan/2002 23:01:51 Index error idx=47 @ [pbuf.c:2135]
02/Jan/2002 23:01:51 Index error idx=38 @ [pbuf.c:2136]
02/Jan/2002 23:01:51 Index error idx=47 @ [pbuf.c:2246]
02/Jan/2002 23:01:51 Index error idx=38 @ [pbuf.c:2247]
I have in my network 10 people, but even when i'm alone (everything else
is turned off) I can make NTop crash. For example transwering big file
(for example a movie). From the server. If you would like to you can view
my network load statistics generated by mrtg:
http://statystyki.w-sieci.eu.org/traffic/172.16.0.1.html
I have to notise that my friend have the same problem with NTop. we are
running it on similar network situation. Similar numer of users similar
network use, the same kernel versions, the same linux distributions.
