	And just discovered that threads weren't in fact enabled so memory 
usage is oddly low although it seems to have been giving output. Enabling
threads just now is doing more what I'd expect (we will see if that includes
being able to shutdown without deadlocking :-)):

 sniffer1:/spare # ps auxwwww | grep argus
