new argus on the dev server

[carter at qosient.com]

Hey Terry,
17 is attempting to deal with memory problems, so if we've got leaks, there is more work to do.

Any chance you could run valgrind against argus on your system?

Oh yes, Teredo processing will be configurable in 3.0.4.

Hi Carter,

I've upgraded to this release and find that the new argus processes
leak memory. See attached plots.

If you are unable to replicate this then let me know and I will try to
find time to help diagnose it. I invoke the process thus:

argus -X -J -R -Z -U 80 -m -M 60 -i eth4/0.0.0.0 -P 561 -w
argus-udp://1.2.3.4:10500

Also, is there any chance of disabling the Teredo detection by default
for the 3.0.4 release?


All the best,

Terry
