Public bug reported: On 22.04, argus-server produces corrupt output (either when outputting to a file, or when streaming over the remote access port). This causes clients such as ra(1) to crash reasonably frequently, often with the error "ARGUS_DATA_DSR len is zero".
After some investigation (and trying to figure out why this wasn't an issue with 20.04) I've discovered that this goes away when built with "-fno-strict-aliasing" appended to DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND in debian/rules. Debian made this same workaround in debbug 1028081 in 2023 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1028081). With this, argus has been stable through many terabytes of traffic.
