This works:
agent GET http://omac.darktech.org/Admin-Page >myAdminPage.html

This is different from the previous one I sent you:
agent GET http://omac.darktech.org/siw.swf >mysiw.swf
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

ulimit -a

ulimit -s unlimited

siw.swf is only about 2.5MB...So it's much earlier than 20MB in this situation.

That said when I do a 
wget http://omac.darktech.org/siw.swf

AWS serves up the file so it's just isolated to the client side stuff in Agent I
think.  Besides if the stream element array was really completely non-functional
broken none of AWS would work everything relies heavily on stream element arrays
including the ssl stuff if I understand correctly ;)
