snort 2.9.0.3 bug? SIGUSR1 broken?

[Michael Scheidell <michael.scheidell () secnap com>]

on snort since:
2001-01-02  mfr <roesch () md prestige net> fy <fygrave () tigerteam net>

and up to and including 2.8.6.1, you could send snort a SIGUSR1   and it 
would dump packet stats to console/syslog

from man page:

   SIGUSR1
              Causes the program to dump its current packet statistical 
infor-
              mation to the console or syslogd(8) if in daemon mode.


I did this on 2.9.0.3 and got this:

Jan 28 18:45:46 scanner2 snort[91717]: !!! Cannot reload attribute table 
- Attribute table is not configured !!!
