long jumps not supported

Hmmm.... I see Carter's Nortel address now bounces so I'll post this to 
the list...

Hi Carter,

I have just tried this out on my linux 6.1 sysetm but find that when I 
try ra with a large filter it dies with a core dump.  Do you know about 
this or should I investigate?

I also had trouble compiling argus_util.c -- gcc did not like the macro 
defs split over more than one line ???  

Cheers, Russell.
