Hi,

I'm using linux v2.6.22.6 and tcp_probe with a couple of small
modifications[1]. 

Even with moderately large numbers of flows (16 on the one machine) and
increasingly as I monitor more flows than that, I get strange overflow
problems such as this one:

74.259589763 192.168.2.1 36988 192.168.3.5 5001 0x679c23dc 0x679bc3b4 18 13 9114624 78 76 10000 0 64
74.260590660 192.168.2.1 44261 192.168.3.5 5006 0x573bb3ed 0x573b700d 13 9 5254144 155 127 10000 0 64
74.261607478 192.168.2.1 44261 192.168.3.5 5006 0x588.066586741 192.168.2.1 33739 192.168.3.5 5009 0xe26d1767 0xe26cf577 2 3 13090816 443 15818 10000 0 64
88.066690797 192.168.2.1 33739 192.168.3.5 5009 0xe26d1767 0xe26cfb1f 3 3 13092864 2365 15818 10000 0 64
88.067625714 192.168.2.1 59385 192.168.3.5 5012 0x411c1090 0x411bd258 12 9 14578688 2807 15812 10000 0 64

As you can see the third line has been truncated as well as the next
roughly 14 seconds of data after which data continues writing as usual.

I don't think my small changes are causing this but perhaps I'm wrong.
Does anyone know what might be causing the above?

Many thanks for any ideas,
Gavin

[1] I have slightly modified tcp_probe to print out information for a range
of ports (instead of one port or all) and to print info from the congestion
avoidance inet_csk_ca struct.  This adds a couple of extra fields to the
end.  If either of these are of interest as patches I'll happily submit
them.
