Hi There..

is it possible that there is a memory lack in the flow-capture tool ?
i attached 2 gfx with a graph of memory and swap usage of my system.
there are no other programs running.. and i checked the memory usage 
with ps.

if i kill the flow-capture-process and restart it again, all memory will 
be freed.

i start the captureing with this arguments:

/path/to/bins/flow-capture -V 7 -R /path/to/scripts/script.sh -w 
/path/to/data/ -n 287 0/0/1234

script.sh runs a flow-header and flow-stat and writes the output in a file.

I've got 5 Version5 exporter and 2 Version7 exporter and about 30Gig of 
Flow-Data per week.
all running on a dual PIII intel machine with linux. kernel 2.4.18. 
Flow-Tools 0.57

thanx for help
chris
