sorry if that is happening... it is not my intention... i only try to bring out 
the necessary details to solve the problem...

right... the log file that u2spewfoo is processing will tell us why u2spewfoo is 
saying it is a block... that's what i'm saying... we have to get to the root to 
find the cause...

my thought was that something may have been misinterpreted by u2spewfoo in this 
case... it is possible that snort has a bug and wrote the output incorrectly... 
so far there's not enough info to determine that and i don't think a pcap will 
help without the full configuration as well... even then, that may not help 
solved the problem...
