No joy with argus-2.0.0.e

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Russell,
   I found a bug that could cause your problem.
I'll work up a fix today, and get a new tarfile
out this weekend.

Hi All,
	I am not having much success with the 2e release.  I started
argus server yesterday afternoon and this morning I find:

bash-2.03$ ps ax | grep bpf
17146  p0- S      0:45.06 argus-2.0.0e/bin/argus_bpf -i fxp0 -w
data2/current
17147  p0- S      1:01.20 argus-2.0.0e/bin/argus_bpf -i fxp0 -w
data2/current
17577  p0- S      0:05.95 argus-2.0.0e/bin/argus_bpf -i fxp0 -w
data2/current
18251  p0  S+     0:00.01 grep bpf
bash-2.03$ date
Fri Sep 15 10:13:13 NZST 2000
bash-2.03$ ls -l data2/current
-rw-r--r--  1 root  argus  48087996 Sep 15 00:37 data2/current
bash-2.03$ argus-2.0.0e/bin/ra -ncr data2/current
14 Sep 00 15:04:16  man  pkts      0  bytes        0  drops     0
STP

I.e processes appearantly running OK, but the output file has not been
updated for nearly 10 hours and when I run ra it says there is nothing
in the file.

I've checked that we have not run out of disk.  Similar thing happened
yesterday so I restarted everything to see if I could reproduce it.

I also have an ra process listening on the port and that seems to have
hung to.  I.e. the server seems to have stopped writing records.

BTW I get the freed memory twice message a lot (ever few seconds), I
cant tell it is still doing that since they tested the power backup
last night (without warning) so I lost all my X sessions to the box.

The inability of ra to extract records seems to be unrelated to the
issue.

Cheers, Russell.
