One place to start might be: netstat -B output in 7.x (I *think* this got MFCed), this will let us see what the drop count is for the Bro process, and what the flags are for the open BPF descriptors in the system.

Thanks for the suggestion. Here's the netstat -B output at the time
it has stalled (after about 6 hours of working normally):

   Pid  Netif   Flags      Recv      Drop     Match Sblen Hblen Command
14557  nxge0 p--s--- 2162189525  32514465  42815457 4194248 4194258 br
 the Recv number is JUST past 2^31.

at your rate of receiving packets, it passed that value about
2 minutes before this snapshot was taken..




Top shows:

  PID USERNAME  THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND
14557 bro        1 -58    0    272M   267M        5  25:53  0.00% bro



A few minutes after starting the process, when Bro was still working
fine, a netstat -B output was:

# netstat -B
  Pid  Netif   Flags      Recv      Drop     Match Sblen Hblen Command
14557  nxge0 p--s---   4779235         0     94967     0     0 bro

Thanks,

Robin
