Segmentation Fault Issue

Hey Polo,
You are reading corrupted argus-2.x data with argus-3.0 clients, which should
work.  ra() has lost its alignment with the argus record headers, and so its
searching for the beginning of the next valid record.  I know this because we're
looking for the "&pattern" in the argus 2.x header stream (line 1679).  I suspect
that we got to the end of the stream input buffer, and kept reading.

If you can share with us the argus data file you are trying to read, I maybe
able to fix the problem.  You can upload it to ftp://qosient.com/incoming, or just email it
to the list (if you don't mind sharing the data).
