As suggested by a forum post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-402101-highlight-ntop+hangs.html it seems that adding the following example to /etc/conf.d/ntop: NTOP_OPTS="-u ntop -P /var/lib/ntop --disable-schedyield --http-server 3000 --https-server 3001 --interface br0" (or similar) could be useful especially since --disable-schedyield may avoid hanging ntop. This "enhancement" could be added to the ebuild.
I can reproduce the bug. Can you put the output of emerge --info
(In reply to comment #1) I can't reproduce the bug (typing error)
