I had a problem with 5.0 crashing if I didn't enable sticky-hosts.

I've installed ntop v5.0 on a fresh Debian 6.0.5 server (32-bit), but I'm still 
having problems with ntop crashing at random times. Most recently it run from 
July 31 @ 16:52:17 until August 1 @  17:23:46, then just stopped. I'm running 
with trace level 5 (just changed to 6) but it doesn't provide any insight.

I was getting the crashes on an old Debian server that also runs Nagios and 
some other things so I decided it deserved its own dedicated server (physical, 
not virtual) but I also get the crashes on the new system. On the old system I 
tried both 5.0 and the development version, no difference.

Do I just need to stop/start ntop every hour to keep it running??

The machine process a steady stream of packets at 9 to 27 Mb/s. Older Core Duo 
processor at 1.66GHz and 2GB memory. Not a fast box but shouldn't have trouble 
keeping up with less than 30Mb/s of traffic. Load average typically 0.01, CPU at < 
25%, memory @ < 50%.
