RAMON segfault

[Desmond Irvine]

I've been running ramon against hourly argus data files and most of the 
time it works just fine.  However, once or twice a day it segfaults on me:

# ramon -n -r 2003.01.13-10.gz -M TopN
Segmentation fault

I've tried both the beta.37 version of ramon as well as the one that 
came with argus version I'm using.  For what it's worth ra seems to 
process the file without any complaints.

This is all running on a debian linux box.  Here are the versions of 
things involved:

Linux cerberus 2.4.20 #1 SMP Tue Dec 24 11:43:14 EST 2002 i686 unknown
Argus Version 2.0.6.beta.2
Ramon Version 2.0.6.beta.2
Ramon Version 2.0.6.beta.37
Ra Version 2.0.6.beta.37

running under gdb against 3 different files that fail gives:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
ArgusIndexRecord (argus=0xb3fef3c, hdrs=0xbfffe440) at ./argus_util.c:477
477              switch (far->type) {
(gdb)

I'm not sure where to go from here.

Thanks, Desmond.
