its my day for finding problems ...

	There looks to be a bug in ra (or more likely argus_parse.c although
the two look identical to me). If I run this with the 1.8 ra it correctly
processes both input files:

ra -r hc.argus.2000_07_13_06_30.gz -r hc.argus.2000_07_14_00_00.gz -c -n | /usr/local/bin/argus.pl > t1
Processing 10000
... (this is from the argus.pl perl script)
Processing 400000

% head t1
Start time Thu 07/13 06:30:04 to Fri 07/14 06:30:00


total byte count by machine
...

	It has processed from 06:30 on the 16th to 06:30 on the 17th as 
expected.
	However if I do the same with the 1.8.1 version of ra it doesn't 
process the second file:

ra.1.8.1 -r hc.argus.2000_07_13_06_30.gz -r hc.argus.2000_07_14_00_00.gz -c -n | /usr/local/bin/argus.pl > t2
Processing 10000
...
Processing 370000

(less input lines)

and it has only processed the first file of the pair (the start/end times
are extracted from the ra output).

% head t2
Start time Thu 07/13 06:30:04 to Fri 07/14 00:00:00
