Interesting.  I did a find /var -inum {inode_num} and got the name of the 
file.  (session.log, which *should* be hupped when it's turned over.)  I've 
posted on the snort list to see if anyone is aware of this or has seen the 
problem before.  In the meantime, I've commented out the log in the conf 
file so the server won't gag when I'm not paying attention to it.
