minutes after being started Snort 2.6.1 seems to stop logging data.
I'm using unified logging, which is being processed through Barnyard.
The Snort process continues to run and the processor time continues to
climb, but the unified logs stop growing -- so it's not related to
Barnyard as best as I can tell.

Anyone else seen anything like this?

I think this is a "me too". I've just noticed that 2.6.1RC1 appears to work initially, but stops logging at some later time. I am just upgrading to 2.6.1 to see if that fixes it - but your report implies it won't. We're using both syslog and mysql output modules - and both stop reporting - so that (plus your barnyard report) implies the problem is occurring somewhere earlier on.

This is snort-2.6.1RC1 under CentOS4.4

"Me too" here, also with a CentOS 4.4 and Snort 2.6.1, I have a problem with logging. Some time after the daemon start, snort consumes all CPU, and stop logging. "kill" don't work, "kill -9" works.
With Snort 2.6.0.2, all works OK. I'm using 2.6.0.2 because of this.
