Latest clients look to have broken archive file movement

	OK, I have switched to rc.45, but things still look to be broken.
The argus is on a 64bit IBM G5 box writing to sockets and that seems to be
working OK.
	There are currently two client sets running (and both break):

FreeBSD 6.2 on a 600 meg P3 32 bit Intel

vanepp  4404  4.7  0.5  5164  3656  p1  S    10:37AM   0:00.68 /usr/local/bin/ra3 -S 192.75.244.191:560 -n -D1 -w /var/log/argus/com_argus

	with debug info going to a file. Attempting to kill an ra3 process 
with kill -HUP or kill doesn't work, I have to use kill -9:

ps auxwwww | grep ra3

kill 4376
%!ps
vanepp  4376  0.0  0.5  5164  3512  p1  S    10:33AM   0:01.52 /usr/local/bin/ra3 -S 192.75.244.191:561 -n -D1 -w /var/log/argus/c4_argus
vanepp  4394  0.0  0.1  1520   796  p1  R+   10:35AM   0:00.00 grep ra3
%kill -9 4376
%Killed

	and a Mac G5 PPC (64 bit) quad core running Mac OS 10.4

	I'm just about to start the same thing on the Mac and I guess when we
next see a failure perhaps the debug logs will say something. There doesn't
appear to be anything in syslog from argus in either machine after a failure.
The Mac has the same problem with killing an ra task.
