argus-3.0.0 segfault (5/23 version)

Hey Michael,
I'm expecting to read the resulting packet file back through argus using the "-r file" option, and it segfaulting.
Does it do that?

Are you expecting argus to reproduce the segfault by replaying it through 
argus by setting ARGUS_PACKET_CAPTURE_FILE in argus.conf?  I tried that 
(leaving the rest of the config the same) and the segfault does not happen 
again.  If the pcap will still be helpful to you, let me know and I'll put 
up the copy wiht sanitized IPs.

|If you can share that would be ideal!!!
|You can use the argus write pcap file function that is turned on from the argus.conf file to try to get the packet file size down.  It causes argus to write out the paxkets it receives, and so it will stop on the packet that causes the problem!!!

|I've got argus running on a Fedora Core 6 x86 Linux box.  The argus daemon
