Yes, you need to apply this patch to the source code and then
recompile it. I used to have an environment to build Windows binaries,
but I don't have it handy now.

I hope this patch will get merged into the code base soon, but I am
not the one who decides it :-)

Count Field in NetFlow V9 header represents the number of FlowSet
included in the PDU. In your capture file, there are one Template
FlowSet with two Template Records inside, and two Data Flowets with
one Flow Data Record each. While there are 4 "records" included in the
PDU but only 3 FlowSets are available.
