First of all, I hope this is the right place to ask, if not please let 
me know where. :-)


I think I discovered a bug in ramon, at least it seems like a bug and I 
can't find any other info about it.

Ramon Version 2.0.6.beta.39
Debian Linux 2.4.20

When I do a "ramon -M TopN -r argus.log" on a 740MB argus logfile, it 
first of all takes a little while before it wrties anything on the 
screen, but I figgure that's because it just takes time to process that 
much data. BUT when it finally outputs something, it looks like it hit a 
32bit barrier, check out the following output (IP addresses replaced 
with bogus numbers).

As you can se, some of the numbers appear serval times, which I doubt is 
right. And the bytes counter hits just arround 2^32, and the numbers at 
4.4.4.4 looks very weird as well, 0bytes? I think not...
This leads me to think that there is a 32bit limit, either in the 
client, or maybe related to the OS?

Am I right, or have I overlooked something?
