[ARGUS] Argus clients on Linux on SPARC?

	Is it a 64 bit Sparc/Linux? Someone on FreeBSD (I think) had problems
with time_t being 64 bits instead of the assumed 32. Something like that seems
a likely cause here (in which case there isn't an immediate cure other than
downgrading to a 32 bit implementation if that is possible).
