Re: SNORT Binary Core Dumps

[Joe McAlerney <joey () SiliconDefense com>]

Hi Timothy,

You may be experiencing an instability issue that exists in the initial
releases of Snort 1.8.  You may want to try the latest version in the
CVS tree, or download the most recent Beta from this URL:

http://www.snort.org/files/snort-1.8.1-beta6.tar.gz

On a side note, when you are experiencing this type of repeated
behavior, it's often useful to run Snort in GNU's debugger, gdb (if
possible) to determine the place where the program is crashing.  This
will help the developers in pinning down the problems.

# gdb snort
(gdb) run <your snort options>

Kind regards,

-Joe M.
