Stream is (going to be) deprecated, use stream2 for the time being.

I'm running snort under Redhat 6.2 on two different boxes. One with config
based on that from www.snort.org, and another from Max's vision18.conf.

Basically I run out of memory on them...

I'm just about to kill for the second time in two days snort as it hits 70Mb
of RAM.

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
snort     2435  1.2  3.2 71924 12360 ?       S    08:59   5:07
 /usr/bin/snort.cvs  -u snort -g snort -e -d -a -o -I -i eth1 -c
 /etc/snort/site.conf -D

I have the following config option set:

output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
output database: log, mysql,
preprocessor defrag
preprocessor stream: timeout 23, ports 21 23 25 80 110 143, maxbytes 16384
preprocessor http_decode: 80 2301
preprocessor portscan: $INTERNAL 5 5 portscan

My guess there's a leak in stream still?
