Shane - did you try the FreeBSD patch I sent?  It's working for Stanley on
4.9/4.10... (fixes the hang by reverting to pcap_dispatch() when using
--set-pcap-nonblocking).

Hey Shawn,

    I have had many problems on FreeBSD.  I have tried 4.9, 4.10 and 5.x.
It would run ok and 4.9, but would stop after a period of time.
Couldn't get ntop to run at all on 4.10 and 5.x.  FreeBSD has documented
issues with ntop.  We do have one 4.9 production box, but I would recommend
to someone save themselves some pain and run Linux.  I run ntop 3.1 on RH
7.3, it has been great and monitors a busy network.
