Hello.

  After switching to amd64 architecture we noticed memory leaks in 
flow-capture process which lead to its grow to about 1 - 1.5 GB after 24 
hours after start. Summary size of flow files saved per day is about 
250-400 Mbytes.

   Please note that this problem seems to exist only on amd64 FreeBSD 
and doesn't affect 32-bit FreeBSD, amd64 Linux (Debian etch, flow-tools 
0.68 from distro's repository) and 32-bit Linux.

   Existence of the problem confirmed on FreeBSD 6.2 and 7.0. Version of 
flow-tools is 0.68 in all cases.
