Package: sniffit
Version: 0.3.7.beta-15
Severity: serious
Justification: makes package unusable

Hi,

when running sniffit on amd64 like
  sniffit -L dns -c /usr/share/doc/sniffit/examples/sample_config_file
it will abort with SIGSEGV right away.

The problem breaks down to a missing '#include <time.h>' in sn_logfile.c
which seems to cause gcc to use something wrong for ctime(). As a
consequence, at runtime, ctime() returns some pointer which is out of
bounds.

Adding the missing include fixes the problem.

TIA,
Sebastian
