long jumps not supported

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Russell,
   Hmmm....  Bugs :o(.  I don't have access to any
machines that will allow me to debug anything right
now.  This will change by next week, so if you can
wait, I'll run it through then.

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.
