Argus memory issues

[Russell Fulton]

This somehow got trapped in my outbox last night.

Hmmm... I got a seg fault on FC6 after about 5 minutes running.  It got
up to 40MB memory before it died.   I'm not running a client on the box
but there are two other instances of argus.

Anyone remember what the incantation for FC to turn on core dumps?

I'm off home now...
