It's nothing in Snort that causes that.  It's going to be in the OS.
You're either dealing with lack of 'large file' support (2GB+), or running
out of inodes.

If the file is less than 2GB and you have plenty of inodes, then check
your ulimits.  If running via Sudo there might be a unexpected limit.

Cheers!
