Its broken. Horribly broken which is why it wasn't committed.  I am working with Dean at snort on  this.HORRIBLY broken.
Have a port that is close.  Just need to finalize one on the preprocessir rulesets.

FYI: The FreeBSD port for 2.9.0.3 is already done, it's just waiting to
be added to the ports tree. The DAQ was already added.

Then its a ports issue or snort.conf issue. Did you build yours with
targeted?
What tables is it looking for and where should they be?

Anything in the conf file?
Once done I should have the port for freebsd done

Sorry, I understood your question but not the platform you specified.
which platform needs a SIGBUS (signal number 10)  to dump stats
to       syslog?
isn't it SIGUSR1 on all supported platforms?
doesn't the man page say SIGUSR1 (30)?  doesn't the manual say
SIGUSR1 (30)?

and if you understood my question, how could 'kill -10' possibly
answer it?
signal 10 is  BUSERROR on every posix system that I know of.

and, what does my platform have to do with anything?
you got some strange TRS80 that uses 10 as SIGUSR1?

Actually, if you read the signal(7) man page you'll see that the
POSIX specification is pretty loose with a number of the signal
value definitions.  SIGUSR1 can be 30, 10, or 16.  For example,
x86-based Linux, which could be considered a relatively non-obscure
operating system, defines SIGUSR1 as 10.  In fact, the only flavors
of Linux that use 30 for SIGUSR1 are DEC Alpha and SPARC.  And since
you asked, SIGBUS can be either 7 or 10.
