Alexey V. Kuznetsov found bug and make patch to fix it. Citate:
"I've installed BPFT v.4 on FreeBSD 4.8 and found following feature/bug: the counter of skipped records with size less than minsize counts unused records also. So if I set up -m 0 in command line, I always get the message "MAX_T_ENTRIES-<used_entries> records less 0 not saved)" in trafd.log. This message doesn't have any sense because minsize is unsigned :)"... read more
