  I have the same issue with 2.6.0 and 2.4.5. Except that I'm not
running inline. Snort segfaults after random run time for no apparent
reason. And it does not matter what and how much rules I have enabled.
Haven't had this problem with previous versions. I'll send backtrace
and other info to bugs@snort.org so you can compare if my and Eric's
problems are the same.

Can you run a gdb backtrace so we can get a look at what's going on?
Check out the BUGS file for explicit info on getting a backtrace.

All,

I am running in to a problem here on a Snort sensor that seems to be
segfaulting. For some reason this only happens with Snort 3.4. When
Snort 3.3 is used, the problem does not occur. I've tried (2)
different
Linux distros at this point, both SuSE 9 and CentOS 4 -- the problem
occurs on both.

Snort does not log any crash details or information to the snort_log.

Has anyone run in to this? Does anyone know what the problem may be
attributed to?
