Re: Jolt2 crashes tcpdump

After further testing, I discovered that problem is not with the tcpdump program.  The problem lies with Redhat version 
6.0.  Just launching the jolt2 program at the redhat box itself causes the machine to lock up (without even running 
tcpdump).  I did not notice this originally because it locks up quicker if you are writing to a file with tcpdump 
running.  I seem to remember that there were some problems with the Redhat kernel when 6.0 was released.  These 
problems were corrected in Redhat 6.1.  To verify this, I checked everything against a machine running Redhat 6.1 and 
there was no problem.
