Argus memory issues

[Carter Bullard]

Gentle People,
I've just uploaded a small memory model for argus.  This is just the flow
modeler engine with a small memory strategy.  Run this as you would
run a normal argus, however it does not generate any output records,
as it is just a flow model test harness.  Please give this a run to see how
it does with memory utilization.  It should run fine, with significantly
smaller foot print.

Thanks, and if this works, I'll convert all of argus-3.0.0 over to this 
model.
