Hey Sunjeet,
Which version are you running?  What type of machine are you using,  32-bit or 64-bit?
If you can send a link to the file, or email it, I'll debug.

The only thing that is different about this trace is that this trace shows a Distributed DOS attack on a particular host and contains TCP packets only related to that host. The size of the trace file is 4.6 MB only, compared to other huge files that I've successfully argus'ed.
