rasplit bug on -M size?

[Matt Sheridan]

Im sorry for two posts so close together. But this seems to be noteworthy

If I run rasplit using -M time using variables for directories and files
names ($H $M $Y, etc) works great. Directores and filenames are created with
the right variable strings. But, If I simply change "-M time" to "-M size" -
leaving everything else identical - the directory structure uses a literal
string as a name - "/%Y/%m/%d/". It stops producing the variable string. ?

So specifically:

rasplit -M time 10m -S localhost -w
/opt/IDS/argus/log/\$srcid/%Y/%m/%d/file.%Y.%m%d.%H.%M.%S

The directories and files that are created end up being /opt/IDS/argus/log/
127.0.0.1/2009/11/04/file.2009.1104.15.10.00 (as expected)

[root at xxxxx log]# cd 127.0.0.1/2009/11/04/
[root at xxxxx 04]# ls -la
total 796
drwx------ 2 root root   4096 Nov  4 15:24 .
drwx------ 3 root root   4096 Nov  4 15:24 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 799120 Nov  4 15:24 file.2009.1104.15.20.00
[root at xxxxxx 04]# pwd
/opt/IDS/argus/log/127.0.0.1/2009/11/04

However, changing only the -M to time (leaving 10m is fine since its 10 meg)
produces literal strings:

rasplit -M size 10m -S localhost -w
/opt/IDS/argus/log/\$srcid/%Y/%m/%d/file.%Y.%m%d.%H.%M.%S

[root at xxxxxxxx %d]# ls -la
total 5396
drwx------ 2 root root    4096 Nov  4 15:19 .
drwx------ 3 root root    4096 Nov  4 15:19 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 5502952 Nov  4 15:19 file.%Y.%m%d.%H.%M.%Saa
[root at xxxxxxxx %d]# pwd
/opt/IDS/argus/log/127.0.0.1/%Y/%m/%d
