A daemon mode oddity?

I started argus_bpf (2.0.0Y) in daemon mode (as opposed to with a &)
but with no config file and it seems to have defaulted oddly (but perhaps
as designed):
pwd is /data:
test4# argus_bpf -dJRw argus.log
argus_bpf[7381]: started
test4# ls -l
total 7426

But no argus.log output file from the -w above. A find indicates that
it is writing in to /argus.log (because there is no config file perhaps?)
rather than the expected (at least by me :-) ./ which in this case would be
/data. Because / isn't all that large that is potentially a problem. Is this
what is supposed to be happening?
