ra dies off doing analysis

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Eric,
   There is a shell script called argusbug, and is very good
at collecting the information that you provided.  We all are
suppose to be using it, so give it a try.

   At this point, the best recourse is to try to find the file
that is causing the problem.  Once you've found that, then
run racount() with the same parameters to see if its all
the programs, or just ra().  Then the method of choice is
o whitling it down to a usable size, where it still
generates the bug, and then possibly sharing the file so
we can debug it on the list.

   If its in the filter, which is rather complex to debug,
one thing to do is to use the '-b' option to see what
the compiler is actually generating.  That really can
help.
