[Flow-tools] flow-tools on FreeBSD/amd64

[Mark R.]

Paul,

This is where I'm picking up the garbage data:

 	ftnet.loc_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = ftnet.msgip.ip.s_addr

The kernel is GENERIC plus IPFW.  Nothing terribly oddball.  I'm wondering 
if this is a variable type issue somewhere.  Running a 32bit build on 
amd64 and the same box doesn't exhibit this issue.

If you care to look into this, I can provide access to the box in 
question.  If not, I'll might eventually figure it out.

I'm not at the point of caring about a memory leak.  When I get there, I 
can run it through valgrind.

Thanks,
Mark
