Argus memory issues

[Peter Van Epp]

	Interesting problem. I had the client still running on the Mac and 
when I tried to start the argus I got a bind error on port 560 til I killed
the client on another machine. I'm about to restart the argus with .threads
enabled. 
	With threads enabled and starting a client I get a seg fault again:

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

	I'll restart without starting a client and see if that works better
in case the client is doing bad things :-).
