In regards to the RCP overflow, is it possible to specify a "fragbits"
option that does not specify a value of "0" ?
or will the preprocessor override any values in the rules files?

Preprocessors aren't controlled by rules files, their view of
traffic isn't limited by rules. They are run over the traffic before
the rules run.

BPF rules could be used to totally blind snort to such traffic, so
that neither rpc_decode, nor any other preprocessors, nor any rules,
would ever see that traffic.
