Hi Phil,

Traffic was very light at the time of the crash.

command-line:
snort -A full -D -c /usr/home/me/snort/snort.conf -l
/usr/home/me/snort/log

Default options in snort.conf, except portscan-ignorehosts was enabled and
http_decode was disabled.

I am using snort 1.8 over netBSD 1.5. The snorts starts normally as a
deamon, works perfectly for some hours when subtly it stops and generate a
snort.core file. Anyone has an idea of what may be happening ?
Thanks a lot !

For starters:

   0. Read the BUGS file.
   1. What does 'snort -V' say?
   2. What options do you use on the command line?
   3. What features have you selected in the configuration file (-c file)?
           (especially preprocessors)
   4. Have you compiled snort using the -g option so you could look at the
      core file with gdb?

      Try:

        # gdb yoursnort_program corefile

      and type:

        (gdb) bt

   5. What was the traffic like at the time of the core dump (?megabits/sec,
      ?packets/sec)?

   6. Are you on an Ethernet?  Or, what?
