Dear Carter,

I'm testing the new clients and noticed odd results with ra.  When using
racluster with a specific file I get certain amount of lines

server# racluster -r argus.2009.03.03.17.00.00 -M rmon -m saddr | wc -l
5555

The problem is when using racluster with -w option with ra.  When
running the command I get fewer amount of lines.

racluster -r argus.2009.03.03.17.00.00 -M rmon -m saddr -w - | ra -r -
| wc -l
2334

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Pablo J. Rebollo
