Trying to start the soft in an ubuntu 14.04 :

[i] loading trails file...
[i] 921,479 trails loaded
[i] using '/var/log/maltrail' for log storage
[!] in case of any problems with packet capture on virtual interface 'any', please put all monitoring interfaces to promiscuous mode manually (e.g. 'sudo ifconfig eth0 promisc')
[i] opening interface 'any'

[i] creating 3 more processes (4 CPU cores detected)
[!] unhandled exception occurred ('[Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory')

I'll make a more graceful exit and a warning, but it would be great to know what went wrong in your case.

Have you changed CAPTURE_BUFFER? If yes, to what value? If no, can you please write down what's your server's memory capacity. I've experienced this kind of behavior on low memory VPSes

@darcosion there has been a related bug fixed today. can you please update and retry?

[stamparm]

CAPTURE_BUFFER has not been taken into the consideration (it was always 512 MB :). sorry for that

[darcosion]

Apparently, that's work. :)

Thanks for this anwsome tool.
