	That looks to be a fine idea :-). This copy of the current argus-3.0.0
without .threads but with -J has been running since yesterday in ~ 370K of
ram (and load is back up to normal peak levels here today):

ps auxwwww | grep argus
root      9499  6.0  9.1 364200 360488 ?       SL   Sep03  54:03 argus -J -P 560 -i eth0 -i eth1 -U 512 -m -F /scratch/argus.conf
vanepp   10801  0.0  0.0   3132   832 pts/1    S+   12:05   0:00 grep argus

	I may take my life in my hands and try the -R flag and see what happens
too :-). I'd say we seem to have fixed the issue (at least on PPC which is 
what I'm on, testing on Intel would be good in case there is an endian problem)
with unlimited memory growth. It may be time to start again comparing output
from 3.0 with output from 2.0.6 on the same link to make sure they are at 
least close to each other (they were in good shape last I tried but there have
been many changes since then :-)).
