Too many inputs

Hi,

In this test I ran version 3.0.2. I think last time I updated the clients, I
forgot to update argus... I will update my binaries before continuing.

Trying to solve my problem I used 'mergecap' (part of wireshark) to merge
the files, and then read load then into argus. However I had problems with
packet timestamps, such as:

argus[4311]: 29 Nov 10 15:49:01.766800 ArgusInterface timestamps wayyy out
of order: now 1233014770 then 1233577523

Now I am trying to understand where out of order packets are coming from.
Kinda frustrating...
