Repeated Alert since upgrading to 1.9

["Eric Joe" <sysop () tje1 com>]

Since I started using Snort 1.9.0, I get a massive amount of these alerts.
In fact it makes the /var/log/snort/alert file grow to 2.0G within hours
at which time Snort (of course) dies.
Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what the heck is this alert?

The 2 machines involved are a Windows XP PC (source) and a Win2k PC
(destination) . I realize these are SNMP port numbers, but can someone
explain the alert to me?
I can easily disable SNMP on the offending machine, but I would like to
learn from this.
