Argus memory issues

[Peter Van Epp]

	Still looks good. First the original version after it ran all night:

ps auxwwww | grep argus

	Then the lastest version with .memory (but not yet .threads) this
morning:

argus -JR -P 560 -i eth0 -i eth1 -U 512 -m  -F /scratch/argus.conf >/scratch/debug.log 2>&1 &
