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.
