Clearly the first example is NOT a MS-SQL Worm, is there a known issue
with Snort mixing up signatures ?, I would be most grateful for any hints
or suggestions you might have.

I think this is an old bug I reported ages ago ("Definite corruption of
addresses in Snort 2.02 alert" ; Message-ID:
<20030929030424.GA20830 () trimble co nz>).

i.e. I too have had snort claim to see things that just didn't happen.

Has this issue being verified?
