Error while parsing

[ecmproute <ecmproute () gmail com>]

Hello,
I am using snort 2.3.x
After loading the latest signature file for snort-2.3, I am getting a parser
error:
        --== Initializing Snort ==--
Checking PID path...

Terminated

+ [ 143 != 0 ]

The 143 is the error code returned to me from snort-parser when run from a
shell script.
Also, I have added the following lines in snort.conf:
+config flowbits_size: 256
preprocessor flow: stats_interval 0 hash 2
.....
Can you help me out on this?

Thanks & regards,
Arindam Roy
