When running iperf the -i flag doesn't give valid output and causes the program to enter an infinite loop. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's in server or client mode. I downloaded the source and compiled it, and on that version the -i flag worked perfectly. Possible ebuild problem.

Which version? Also, post emerge --info please.
I tried copying the source for iperf from /usr/portage/distfiles. untaring, and compiling it. When I did that the -i flag worked perfectly. I'm using iperf-2.0.1, the latest in stable.
