I'm out of the area for a week or so, but would appreciate anyone's feedback
on whether this addresses the issues we've been seeing.

Was glad to see this thread pop up.  I'm seeing similar behavior when I
attempt to move from 2.8.0 to 2.8.2.

Running on RHEL4, 2.8.0 is working fine.  I shutdown, copy the 2.8.2
snort
binary and libraries into place, restart, and then I get a handful of
alerts
before the load climbs to 2.5 in a minute or two.  (Load under 2.8.0 is
typically under 1.)  Once it's in that state, no alerts fire (even while
generating test alert traffic), and the snort processes don't respond to
SIGUSR1 like normal.

So, same config, same rulesets, but 2.8.0 runs fine and 2.8.2 tanks.  (I
also tried disabling my local rules under 2.8.2, and that didn't help.)
