Nethogs dies on assert failure

Binary package hint: nethogs

After prolonged runs of nethogs I often get an assert failure which causes nethogs to exit. This has happened to me on two different machines, both running Ubuntu Hardy. Example:

NetHogs version 0.6.0

  PID USER PROGRAM DEV SENT RECEIVED
24505 kjellrs transmission eth0 44.501 22.062 KB/sec
24668 kjellrs opera eth0 0.000 0.000 KB/sec
17632 kjellrs kopete eth0 0.000 0.000 KB/sec
0 root unknown 0.000 0.000 KB/sec

  TOTAL 44.501 22.062 KB/sec
nethogs: cui.cpp:29: Line::Line(const char*, double, double, int, uid_t, const char*): Assertion `m_uid >= 0' failed.

I don't know the reason for the assert failure since it seems this problem is fairly rare. However, if this is caused by some sort of lookup failure I would very much prefer it to just handle that somehow and keep running.

Ubuntu version:
8.04.1 (Hardy Heron)
Package:
nethogs/hardy uptodate 0.6.0-3
