	It does look much better (after about 1/2 hour):

root     14108  4.5  3.0 140956 121740 ?       SLsl 14:53   0:05 argus -dJR -P 560 -i eth0 -i eth1 -U 512 -m -F /scratch/argus.conf
root     14117  0.0  0.0   3132   832 pts/1    S+   14:55   0:00 grep argus
hcids:/scratch # !!
ps auxwwwww | grep argus
root     14108  4.7 47.2 1961048 1858944 ?     SLsl 14:53   2:05 argus -dJR -P 560 -i eth0 -i eth1 -U 512 -m -F /scratch/argus.conf
root     14179  0.0  0.0   3132   832 pts/1    S+   15:37   0:00 grep argus

but it is still growing I think. Time will tell :-)
	On the archive front disabling threads seems to have helped so far:

(note the odd create times on the middle files when threads were enabled).
