I redownloaded the newest rule pack and Snort is running fine.

Thanks Joel.

I just updated the rules using pulledpork.  In my configuration, this updates both the VRT and Emerging Threat rule 
sets.  Once I restart Snort, it crashes giving the error "segfault".  I rolled back the rules to the previous version 
and Snort runs fine.  Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, have you isolated the cause?  I'm running Snort version 
2.9.4.0.

Redownload the newest Snort rule pack.  This has been fixed.
