Tracking down infrequent raqglinsert() segfault (was new argus-clients-3.0.7.14 on the server)

[David Edelman]

Still moving right along using rasqlinsert to create two tables per day for
three months of data. I instrumented the bash for loop so I was able to tell
which source files were being processed when the segfault happened (FC 18 is
real stingy with core files)

The fault occurs at rasqlinsert.c line 3144 where the  ns-->status
ARGUS_RECORD_MODIFIED bit is being reset.
I fired up gdb and the problem is reproducible, it looks like something is
clobbering the value of ns between the test to see if the record has been
modified and the attempt to reset the ARGUS_RECORD_MODIFIED bit in
ns->status. It looks like it might be this code segment, specifically the
bcopy at line 7527. It has the feel of a buffer overrun since the new value
of the pointer as an ASCII string would be    )"0\0\1   which might make
more sense with endian adjustment  but I'm still looking for the specifics.

7523          if (ArgusSOptionRecord) {
7524             int tlen;
7525             snprintf (sbuf, slen, "INSERT INTO %s (%s,record) VALUES
(%s,\"", RaSQLCurrentTable, vbuf, fbuf);
7526             tlen = strlen(sbuf);
7527             bcopy(mbuf, &sbuf[tlen], len + 1);
7528             tlen = strlen(sbuf);
7529             snprintf (&sbuf[tlen], slen - tlen, "\")");
