Interesting.  Running snort_special like this:
/usr/local/bin/snort_special -R special -T works fine, but when I use
the args in a startup script, it fails.  The args are -i xl0 -o -u root
-g snort -R special -l /var/log/snort/special -D.

When I tail /var/log/messages I can see that it's still create the
pidfile as snort_xl0.pid even though I'm changing it on the commandline
in the ARGS variable.

I guess I'll have to edit the source and create a new instance to do
what I want.....
