The maintainer knows about the broken state of FLEXSRESP2 patch, as he
was the one who submitted the change to mark it broken in revision
1.70 (2006/08/30 04:26:53 clsung) when it was first introduced.
It also looks like snort 2.8.1 now incorporates the FLEXRESP2 patch in
the main source. I submitted PR 124048 to remove the BROKEN state of
FLEXRESP2.

The default state for FLEXRESP2 is OFF. The only OPTION that is
enabled is dynamic plugin support (DYNAMIC) for a plain snort build.
