Side note: Be sure to change those bleeding-'s to emerging-'s. The bleeding- versions are likely old files leftover in the dir. None are being produced anymore. Matt JJ Cummings wrote:

On FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE with the Snort 2.8.2.X from the FreeBSD ports tree, I have the same issues even with just a minimum Snort âstockâ rule set enabled. It logs to MySQL no longer than an hour, and usually stops logging within minutes after starting. It then consumes the entire CPU until I kill -9 the process. I downloaded and built a binary from the previous 2.8.1 code base, and itâs been running now for weeks without a hiccup using the complete Snort rule set as well as the Emerging Threats âALLâ rules (less I few I culled for my specific needs). I have been running Snort on FreeBSD forever (since 1.X code), and this is the first time Iâve had a problem of this magnitude. So, until someone can figure out whatâs going on with 2.8.2, Iâm stuck in the 2.8.1 world.

This is the first time in my experience with snort that it does something like this.
