Do you have the ruleset mentioned twice in your snort.conf?
Snort will load it twice if you do.
If that's not the case please send a snippet of the non-sensitive
portions of your snort.conf and we can get you fixed up.

I thought the same thing so I grepped 2001578 in /etc/snort and
/etc/snort/rules:
[07:58:07 jlay@homebox:/etc/snort$] grep 2001578 *
sid-msg.map:2001578 || BLEEDING-EDGE Sober.I Worm outbound detected
[07:58:17 jlay@homebox:/etc/snort$] cd rules
[07:58:26 jlay@homebox:/etc/snort/rules$] grep 2001578 *
bleeding-virus.rules:#alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 25
(msg:"BLEEDING-EDGE Sober *nuked the rest so I don't set off the rule* ;)
Any other thoughts?

This isn't unusual, you can only have one threshold entry per sid. I'd
guess you're loading the sigs twice for some reason? Maybe for dual http
ports or smtp ports variables or something?
At any rate, if you remove the duplicate signatures this'll go away. if
you need to run with several variables I'd recommend a second instance
of snort with a a pcap expression limiting to just that port, and
running just the rules relevant. Lots more efficient I think.

Hey folks!
Just upgraded to 2.3.0 and here's what I get with
Feb 19 08:22:43 ns1 snort: FATAL ERROR: Rule-Threshold-Parse: could not
create a threshold object -- only one per sid, sid = 2001578
Feb 19 08:24:19 ns1 snort: FATAL ERROR: Rule-Threshold-Parse: could not
create a threshold object -- only one per sid, sid = 2001573
after nuking all entries in bleeding-virus.rules with "threshold: type
limit" in them snort would fire up. Any thoughts on this?
