>Description:
I have update snort from 2.4.5 up to 2.6.0  via ports. New version works in command line, but fail during initializing daemon mode with core-dump.

Relevant strings from /var/log/messages:
Sep  8 16:21:41 nano snort[4820]: Initializing daemon mode
Sep  8 16:21:43 nano kernel: pid 4821 (snort), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
Sep  8 16:21:43 nano snort[4820]: Child terminated unexpectedly
Sep  8 16:21:43 nano snort[4820]: Daemon parent exiting

String from gdb:
(gdb) core snort.core
Core was generated by `snort'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x20000000409be0a0 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x20000000409be0a0 in ?? ()
#1  0x20000000409b79c0 in ?? ()
Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

What does it mean? Looks like IA64 specific.

Thanks.
