	Yep, I thought of doing that (and can and supply the patch) but the 
warnings appear to be harmless (complaining about the redefine which is 
identical) so it didn't seem worth the effort but it would be cleaner.

	All to the good! I've ordered a couple of IBM P510 Power5 boxes for
new sensors so when they come I should have both endians (and some new Sun
Opteron boxes) to play with. As I get time I'll continue poking at 3.0.
	The Linux ring buffer code appears to have internal problems. On argus
it goes west so hard that a reset is the only thing that will recover, and 
that seems really unlikely to be argus :-) although it seems to mostly survive
when running tcpdump.
