FW: snort Core Dump

[Hall RJ <R.J.Hall () rhul ac uk>]

I have installed snort 1.8.1 with the latest rules files and a snort.config
that differs from the one supplied with the rules by only the DNS server and
home net definition.   Can anyone suggest why I might be getting this
segmentation fault?

[root@localhost rich]# /usr/local/bin/snort -l /home/rich/snort/logs/ -c 
/etc/snort/snort.conf
Log directory = /home/rich/snort/logs/
