FreeBSD ... That's the problem.  Understand - if you've read the back
traffic - that the BSDs have a very different implementation of the threads
library than Linux/Solaris/Win32.  Not wrong, just different.  Which has a
lot of issues/implications for multi-threaded programs.  Not just ntop -
you'll see these kinds of issues for many other projects.

Anyway, there was a patch posted - check the back traffic - which reverts
from pcap_dispatch to pcap_loop for FreeBSD.  Apply it.

If you can't find it in the back traffic, pull it out of the cvs:

cvs diff -U3 -r 2.165 -r 2.166 ntop.c

Subject: [Ntop] ntop unstable on FreeBSD 4.x

Moin,

I've setup ntop 3.1 on a FreeBSD 4.10 box. I run it with "-d -L
--set-pcap-nonblocking --skip-version-check -i dc0,dc1,dc2"

Ntop starts an collecting some data but after some minutes I've got errors
loke this.

Feb 21 12:55:05 bullet ntop[74040]:   **ERROR** Reading packets on device 0
(dc0): 'read: No child processes'
Feb 21 12:55:05 bullet ntop[74040]:   THREADMGMT: pcapDispatch thread
terminated...
Feb 21 12:57:36 bullet ntop[74040]:   **ERROR** Reading packets on device 2
(dc2): 'read: No child processes'
Feb 21 12:57:36 bullet ntop[74040]:   THREADMGMT: pcapDispatch thread
terminated...
Feb 21 13:03:22 bullet ntop[74040]:   **ERROR** Reading packets on device 1
(dc1): 'read: No child processes'
Feb 21 13:03:22 bullet ntop[74040]:   THREADMGMT: pcapDispatch thread
terminated...

What maybe the problem?
Matthias
