my snort ps keeps dying...

["Fred Edwards" <Fred.Edwards () stmarys ca>]

I've recently moved up from 1.7 to 1.8, and I did an upgrade to libpcap from the link on the snort page...
running RedHat 7.1

Here is a copy of several syslog lines that seem to be the problem:

Jul 20 18:00:00 george kernel: eth0: Promiscuous mode enabled.
Jul 20 18:00:01 george kernel: eth0: Promiscuous mode enabled.
Jul 20 18:00:01 george kernel: device eth0 left promiscuous mode
Jul 20 18:00:01 george kernel: eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.
Jul 20 18:00:01 george kernel: eth0: Promiscuous mode enabled.
Jul 20 18:00:01 george kernel: device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
Jul 20 18:00:01 george kernel: eth0: Promiscuous mode enabled.
Jul 20 18:00:01 george snort[1756]: pcap_loop: read: Network is down
Jul 20 18:00:01 george snort[1756]: Snort received signal 3, exiting
Jul 20 18:00:01 george kernel: device eth0 left promiscuous mode

any help would be appreciated...
