Gentle People,
   Russell wasn't going bonkers, there was a bug in the
extended TCP status field where the new 'f' was broken,
but now it seems to be better.  Out in argus-2.0.0e.

   The status field is "sSEfFCR" and they represent the
basic TCP state machine.
   s - SYN
   S - SYN_ACK
   E - ACK (data transfer)
   f - FIN_WAIT_1 (saw fin)
   F - FIN_WAIT_2 (saw fin ack)
   C - Closed (both sides got to F)
   R - Reset

There was also a bug in reading packets in files, where
the times can look screwy, this also has been fixed.
