ntop constant segfaults

[Andy Smith]

Perhaps this would be better on an ntop-specific list but due to how
completely broken this applications apears to be I wondered if
anyone else on FreeBSD has seen this..

Basically, on -STABLE, the net/ntop port just won't stay running for
more than a few minutes without segfaulting like so:

Anyone got any ideas before I take this to an ntop list?
