ranonymize questions

	Someone is interested in some of my argus historical data and thus 
I'm poking at ranonymize (from argus-clients-2.0.6.beta.40). I have set
the following ranonymize.conf file:      

ranonymize.conf

RANON_TRANSREFNUM_OFFSET=none
RANON_SEQNUM_OFFSET=none
RANON_TIME_SEC_OFFSET=none
RANON_TIME_USEC_OFFSET=none
RANON_PRESERVE_WELLKNOWN_PORT_NUMS=yes
RANON_PRESERVE_REGISTERED_PORT_NUMS=yes
RANON_PRESERVE_PRIVATE_PORT_NUMS=yes
RANON_PRESERVE_NET_ADDRESS_HIERARCHY=cidr

	And executed:

ranonymize -F ./ranonymize.conf -r argus.out -w aargus.out

	I think this should give me anonymous IP addresses with nothing else
modified (because all else should be disabled) but it doesn't seem to be.

ra -r argus.out -n -n -- ip

	Now, time has been modified (the first 4 "none" in the conf file 
should stop this I think). Port ".63390" in the second line has become
".52670".  One of the preserve port statements in the conf file should have
fixed this I think (unimportant except for P2P programs with specific non 
registered ports ...)
	So am I missing something obvious or is there a bug or bugs here?
