argus.2.0.6.fixes.1 on OBSD 3.7

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Russell,
    I'm looking at it now, and basically there is no reason for it to
die trying to allocate 128 bytes for this new flow NetworkDSRBuffer.
Usually when you get blow ups in calloc and malloc its because you
previously freed something that wasn't aligned or wasn't a real buffer.
This is going to be my first pass guess, so, ..., I'm going to put in  
some
better buffer checking, and see if we can tease out a reason for this.

Still working on it.

Carter
