Hello,

when building Snort 3 245 with the --enable-tcmalloc flag, snort throws a
segfault.

*Environment: *git clone of the latest Snort3 (b245) on Ubuntu 18 x64 in a
VMware virtual Machine.

*Commands:*
cd ~/snort_src
git clone https://github.com/snort3/snort3.git
cd ./snort3
./configure_cmake.sh --prefix=/usr/local  --enable-tcmalloc
cd build
make

*Error:*
...
Scanning dependencies of target all_built_sources
[ 97%] Documents: building commands.txt with
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
doc/CMakeFiles/all_built_sources.dir/build.make:80: recipe for target

When you remove the --enable-tcmalloc flag, snort compiles and runs without
error:
