No ra() output with FBSD 6.2

Hi,
One of my argus boxes was recently "upgraded" from FreeBSD 4.x to
6.2. In the process, my argus2 install finally died and I took the
chance to upgrade this last box to argus3...it's my only FBSD box
running Argus, so this problem may be unique to me, or not.
argus() itself is logging packets just fine. A "strings" on the argus
output file shows data I'd expect to see. However, ra() fails to
generate anything useful, only spewing tens of thousands of what
appear to be completely *empty* lines.
ra isn't linked to anything weird:
/usr/local/bin/ra:
libm.so.4 => /lib/libm.so.4 (0x480d4000)
libreadline.so.6 => /lib/libreadline.so.6 (0x480ea000)
libncurses.so.6 => /lib/libncurses.so.6 (0x48117000)
libpthread.so.2 => /lib/libpthread.so.2 (0x48156000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4817b000)
And reports:
Ra Version 3.0.0.rc.65
Yet the very same "ra -n -r argus_data" that works on my linux boxes
spews nothing but whitespace on this box.
No rarc involved, ktrace looks normal, and even the kdump output seems
to see the same data that "strings" does..
I must be missing something trivial...ideas?
Thanks,
Scott
