Perhaps you can capture some traffic and see if the 3whs is completed?

    Thanks very much for that information, Joel.  I have disabled anomaly detection for the stream5_global preprocessor 
on one of our servers and these 129:20 alerts stopping coming in.  The alerts were coming in from internal traffic 
between servers, so it isn't clear why Snort thinks the three-way handshake wasn't completed anyway.

    We didn't update the version of Snort you all are using.  But we did update the preprocessor.rules file.  So, if 
you are getting alerts now, Snort may have been generating them all along, and the preprocessor file was never able to 
generate a named alert, as Snort didn't know what to name it.
    
    If you want to disable this check, it's part of the stream5 preprocessor configuration with the "detect anomalies" 
configuration line.
