The problem occurs if i turn on the IPTraf logging, after a while i get an "Floating point exception" under the "Packets catured:" line and IPTraf-ng quits. Until now i couldn´t localize the problem, but it seems like a bug in the new version.

This is most certainly a division by zero. If you do that, the floating
point unit of the CPU throws a floating point exception.
It is best to report that to the iptraf-ng developers and open a bug
report about this on our own bugtracker as well, so that we can update
as soon as a fix is available.

Should this be merged? Why is iptraf-ng writing log files any way?
