	On clients.rc.52 (with .devel not ,devel this time :-)) the original
file still dumps:

ra3 -r /archive/argus3/com_argus.archive/2007/09/06/com_argus.2007.09.06.08.00.01.0.gz >t

	If someone knows where to find szone_error on MacOS 10 that may be 
useful :-)

(gdb) l szone_error
No line number known for szone_error.

	Meanwhile I'll try clients.rc.52 on the main machines and see if I can
get a similar dump on a less sensitive network where I may be able to release
the capture file.
