[netflow-tools] logsock functionality failing

[Heath Snoek]

G'day

I am trying to run flowd in logsock mode.  Everything appears to be
working fine when I output in logfile mode, but I am receiving the
following error in logsock mode:

Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?  I'm running flowd version
0.9, offloading using a Cisco 877 router in netflow version 9 and
running flowd under linux kernel 2.6.
