Argus memory issues

The LAYER_3_MATRIX does seem to keep memory down:
ps auxwwww | grep argus
root 25451 7.8 1.4 61732 57272 ? SLs 12:03 2:38 argus -d -P 560 -i eth0 -i eth1 -U 512 -m -F /scratch/argus.conf
root 25714 0.0 0.0 3132 832 pts/0 S+ 12:37 0:00 grep argus
half an hour in and still at 60K :-).
OK, I set ARGUS_IPTIMEOUT to 0 and recompiled (without threads)
removed LAYER_3_MATRIX again and started it up and we will see how it does:
hcids:/scratch # vi argus.conf
ARGUS_COLLECTOR=no~
hcids:/scratch # !1055
argus -d -P 560 -i eth0 -i eth1 -U 512 -m -F /scratch/argus.conf
hcids:/scratch # !ps
ps auxwwww | grep argus
root 25722 8.1 1.3 55944 51288 ? SLs 12:38 0:02 argus -d -P 560 -i eth0 -i eth1 -U 512 -m -F /scratch/argus.conf

climbing a fair bit faster than before but if it levels off in a while that
would be OK (or at least better :-)).
