Snort 2.9.6.2 inline mode problem

[Debason Shockre <demonsdebason () gmail com>]

Hi all.
I've been working on my Snort IPS for some time now.
Noticed that 'drop' rules are working half-way, I have set the test rule to
drop ICMP coming to the sensor from local machine:
drop icmp 192.168.1.2 any -> 192.168.1.1 any (msg: "Test rule"; sid:110011;)

Alerts get logged and can view them via BASE, but when I ping from .2 to .1
I get this:
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1

: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.216 ms
> From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1

: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.269 ms
> From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Port Unreachable
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1

: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.221 ms

So some of them are getting 'blocked'.

When I shutdown Snort I's all fine:
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1

: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=0.226 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1

: icmp_seq=9 ttl=64 time=0.201 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1

: icmp_seq=10 ttl=64 time=0.253 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1

: icmp_seq=11 ttl=64 time=0.204 ms

Here is my info:

I've tried dropping all the ICMPs in the iptables, results are as expected,
but Snort still logs the alerts.
Do you have any idea what is the issue here?
