[Bro] New installation crashes appear to be ssh-related

[Llewellyn, Ted]

Robin,

 I submitted a ticket, 1361. It won't let me attach the core dump as it's too big.  How do I upload that?

Thanks,
Ted

(Yes, this is a 32-bit box. It's pretty old. That's why I built from source.) The first crash occurred after a few minutes. Then it ran for nearly 24 hours before this crash. Is there something I can tweak to prevent this?
