Another 2.0 request

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Peter,
There was a time where a memory leak made restarting
a good idea, but that was a long time ago.

	I didn't know that! All this time I've been killing argus and and
restarting it. Isn't the file busy (and thus argus keeps writing to the
now nameless inode)? I'll have to try it out on a test copy and see what
happens because that would simplify life (to say nothing of stopping losing
packets while switching log files)!
