Hm.  Does not work for me with 2.9.5.3.

http://strlen.de/fw/starttls-pcap.cap

$ src/snort -r ~/starttls-test.cap  -c snort.conf -k none -K none -P 0xffff
[..]
Verdicts:
      Allow:           26 (100.000%)
      Block:            0 (  0.000%)
    Replace:            0 (  0.000%)
  Whitelist:            0 (  0.000%)
  Blacklist:            0 (  0.000%)
     Ignore:            0 (  0.000%)

With patch, i get "Whitelist: 16"
