Well one idea--Somethings not right.  ;-)  Seriously, it could be a lot of
things.

*  Are you getting a core dump?  If so, can you give us a backtrace using
gdb?  If there's no core, try running Snort under gdb.  Once it segfaults,
you should be able to give us a backtrace.

*  When does it die?  Is it the same point each time?

*  What do you have in your .conf (minus blank lines and comments)?  You
can get that by:

        grep -v '^#' snort.conf |grep -v '^$'

Cheers!
