[Fwd: Broken Reset Filter, possible bug]

Hey Nick,
Hmmmm, looks like its an argus bug, in that we have a flow
status indication of reset, but we don't have the TH_RST bit
flipped in the flags field, which is what the filter is looking at.

So the question is, did these records come straight from argus()
or did they get aggregated along the way?
