Are you sure barnyard is reading the properly updated sig-msg.map file?

And it appears to have fired on this packet.

This is a continual frustration, where a rule fires and the payload does
not match. Most of the time, the payload does match. But, it's not
hard to find instances like the one above. Can anyone offer some
reasons why this may be occurring and what can be done to correct the
problem. Was there some payload that really did match and it's just
showing the wrong payload? Or did the detection engine just mess up?
We're running Version 2.4.3 (Build 26), but this problem has been with
us through two generations of Snort senors and numerous versions. We
use Barnyard and unified logging, but the problem was seen before we
implemented Baryard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
