[ARGUS] ramon -M TopN problems...

[Carter Bullard]

Hey John,
   Repeats occur when the counters exceed the capacity of
an unsigned 32-bit integer.  People have "solved" this feature
using a simple perl script to add the matching values together,
since perl works with 64-bit ints.   ragraph.pl does this
type of processing, and it would not take but a short while
to cannablize it to do your bidding.

   I can add 64-bit counters to ramon(), but it will take a
little while, I'll try to get it into 2.0.7.
