with what specific rules (set wise) enabled / disabled?

brilliant idea.. :P this got me thinking (an anomaly on its own)... 

More background on the sensor... It use to be 2.4.3 and I was only able
to upgrade it recently. 

I "merged" the rulesets from 2.4.3 to 2.8.2.1. I think somehow a invalid
setting got inserted that might have been causing the problem.

I decided now to recreate the policy from scratch and only import
default snort 2.8_s sigs to test if it might be something in the conf
file or sigs. 

Touch wood its still going after 10 mins. I will monitor it for a while
longer and see if it kills over or not.

Brent, maybe you can try creating a ruleset from scratch and manually
entering the suppressions and thresholds and see if it works for you.

I will gradually add the Emerging Threat sigs and see if that make a
difference as well.

Thanks for all the input guys, much appreciated!

Chat soon.

Can you provide the list of rules you are running?
    
The rulesets are standard Snort 2.8_s and Emerging Threat rules.
