Hey Chris,
I've made changes in the argus.spec file in argus-3.0.2.tar.gz to deal  
with your issue
and refreshed the candidate argus-3.0.2 tarball.  Could you give this  
a try to see if
it solves your problem?

I had to do something different from your suggested patch, so it may  
need some
little test.  If this works for you, I'll make the same type of  
changes for the clients.

Thanks!!!!

Carter
