Hello!

I use nfsen-1.3.8.

The problem: nfsen incorrectly deletes files with this pattern - nfcapd.current.* - when "%sources" in nfsen.conf have "'port' => '0'", for example:

%sources=(
'test' => { 'IP' => '192.0.2.1', 'port' => '0', 'col' => '#000080', 'type' => 'netflow' },
);

For the above configuration nfsen must not start/stop the collector because the last is managed outside nfsen. And when nfsen deletes nfcapd.current.* the collector cannot save current netflow data because of deletion of the appropriate file by nfsen.

I propose to not delete the collector's current stat file for the above configuration. The working patch is attached.
