Try updating again... Quite a few people have had this problem. The
solution that worked for me was to update to the latest cvs version a
week ago.
No problems since. You might want to try that or use the new 1.8p1
that's available for download from snort.org. I haven't tried if that
one also solves the problem, but it might since it's new enough.

Hope this helps,
Martijn
