Starts OK now, though I'd got a mistake in my suricata.yaml where I'd
had "cluster-type: cluster_per_flow" instead of "cluster_flow". The
older version didn't seem to mind as I'd specified the correct type on
the command line. I guess it's all right to insist the config file entry
is correct as long as the command line version still takes precedence.

When I have threads > 1, it still doesn't log stats properly - all the
RxPfringN entries are 0. It seems to work OK, though.

Best Wishes,
Chris

P.S. I'm off to Networkshop (3-day .ac.uk networking conference)
tomorrow and giving my talk on Suricata + PF_RING on Wednesday morning.
Let's see if I can get some more converts :)
