Hi, Rogerio:

Sorry to hear that.  I would be happy to help debug dnstap (I wrote the
dnstap patchset for Unbound).  Can I get some information about your
environment?

Can you show the "dnstap:" block of settings from your config, and the
"num-threads" server setting?

Does fstrm's "make check" test suite succeed?

What version of protobuf-c are you using?  (Did you compile from source,
or did you use a packaged version?)

What OS version are you using?  (Based on your mention of the Debian
package from experimental, I would guess Debian or Ubuntu.)

Are you using a uniprocessor or SMP machine?  Also, since there are some
architecture-specific parts in fstrm, what architecture are you using?

Thanks!
