Argus with bonded interface

I'm having an issue where argus will not record data from a bonded interface. I'm not 100% positive this is the exact problem, but I haven't had problems with it on other systems and the bonded interface is the only difference. Do I need to do something special or configure the interface in a specific way?
The argus log file increases in size at a very slow rate (like 1 KB every 2 minutes or so). When I use ra on the data I get the following:
# ra -nn -L0 -r /var/argus/argus.log.test
StartTime Flgs Type SrcAddr Sport Dir DstAddr Dport SrcPkt DstPkt SrcBytes DstBytes State
09-21-10 15:33:47.231421 man 0.0.0.1 v2.0 1 0 0 0 0 0 STA
09-21-10 15:33:47.269844 man 0.0.0.1 v2.0 1 0 0 0 0 0
... (Repeat) ...
Here is my bonded interface configuration:
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
pre-up ifconfig eth2 promisc -arp up && ifconfig eth3 promisc -arp up && ifconfig bond0 up
bond-slaves none
bond-mode 1
bond-miimon 100
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
bond-master bond0
bond-primary eth2 eth3
auto eth3
iface eth3 inet manual
bond-master bond0
bond-primary eth2 eth3
I also run Snort on the box, and it does not appear to have a problem capturing data from the interface. I can dump full packet captures as well and everything seems normal.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
