Could not add event to decoderActionQ

[elof () sentor se]

Hi!

After I updated all my sensors to snort 2.9.7.0, a few of them have 
started logging:

I've been running snort for years, and this is the first time I see 
these. I wonder:


Q1: What is this?



I increased the line
config event_queue: max_queue 8 log 5 order_events content_length
to
config event_queue: max_queue 16 log 12 order_events content_length

...but still get the syslog messages.

Q2: Anyone know why?
