Question about Filtering Argus Data

Hey Chungen,
I did find the bug, took me a while to find a machine that
replicated it.  

Putting radium in front of argus, to avoid an argus compiler bug,
is a good hack, but not the best way to go, so ...
If you could do me a favor and test out this latest version
of argus-3.0.8.rc.3 that I just uploaded, I would appreciate it.

And thanks for helping to fix this important bug.

Carter
