Argus memory issues

[Peter Van Epp]

	Looks like there was something left over from previous out of memory
conditions on the machine. After a reboot it seems to be working fine (although
load isn't all that high yet):

(ps and top seem to disagree about how much memory is in use although in
both cases its not much :-)):
