Random crashing with rc.40 on Linux

[carter at qosient.com]

Hey Scott,
Put the break in the routine ArgusLog.

  gbd> b ArgusLog
  gdb> run -F conf.file

Abd see what happens!!  I'll take a look at the packet dump, but if you can try running argus against it, that may help!!

   argus -r dump.file -w out.file

Just to see if it complains in the same way.

Carter

Sadly:

Starting program: /usr/local/argus3/sbin/argus -F
/usr/local/argus3/argus.conf
argus[26162]: 08 Mar 07 07:39:16.113912 started
argus[26162]: 08 Mar 07 07:39:16.114317 ArgusGetInterfaceStatus:
interface eth1 is up
argus[26162]: 08 Mar 07 08:18:55.517916 ArgusAddToQueue (0x815106c,
0xa0c1520) obj in queue 0x815106c

Program exited normally.
(gdb) bt
No stack.
(gdb)

I'll run a tcpdump as well though, will see if that gets it sorted.  It
tends to die pretty quickly...

Regards,

Scott
