Jeff, I did, I used the sp_respond2.diff.gz you sent today directly to
my (other) mail box (pfeito_at_netcabo.pt) and to other 6 or 7 guys.

I'm going to repeat the process as I type this e-mail:

Sep  9 03:08:29 paco snort: FATAL ERROR: sp_respond2: Unable to
allocate hash table memory.

And Snort stops running.
I didnt saw this problem on the previous version that you sent me 2 or
3 weeks ago.

Any clues?

Pedro,

I sent two different patches.  Try the second one I sent (version
1.0.1), it had already contained a fix for that bug.

Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

I recompiled snort 2.2.0 again with the new patch and I had no
problems. When I start Snort I get this error message in
/var/log/messages:

Sep  9 01:14:46 fwall snort: FATAL ERROR: sp_respond2: Unable to
allocate hash table memory.

I dont have a clue what could be, or if its an error that only occurs
in my system, with my current configuration. Doesnt seem to be out of
mem related since the system reported 20MB free.

I'll wait for some feedback from other beta tester's.

Hi Jeff,

 Did you had the time to work on it yet? My presentation must be
finished by 8th, so it would be great if a fixed version of flexresp2
would come out till then... if not, life goes on :)
Thanks,
-pfeito

Yes, I finished a testable version.  It's in your inbox.  As for the
rest of the snortees, anyone wishing to test this before it's imported
into the tree should email me directly or find me on the freenode IRC
channel.
