ArgusWriteOutSocket(0xd40bb1e0) max queue exceeded 500001 - where does the message come from

[John Gerth]

For  me, the messages are coming from argus since it can't talk a crashed radium,
but I can certainly imagine it happening in a case where radium can't write to  a disk.

Anyway, it's not ambiguous, the syslog entry identifies both the name and PID .

Is it incoming flows that radium is waiting to process or are they flows that are waiting to be sent to other argus clients like rastream?
