argus malloc memory corruption error

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Mike,
One of the argus threads has died, and the ArgusOutput thread may still be running.  If you can turn on the development support, ( touch .devel; ./configure; make clean; make ) and run under gdb, we'll catch it.
 
   # gdb bin/argus
   (gdb) run -d      (Assuming your argus runs in daemon mode)
