Well, in 1.9 w/ a 1.9 ruleset, you should turn on

preprocessor stream4: asynchronous_link

you are running into the state machines actually caring about the
state of a TCP session which it can't ascertain w/o haivng both sides
of the conversation.

This is not related to fragmentation.

The Sensor listens behind a Shomiti Ethernet TAP.
May this be the problem ?  The Sensor only catches the
"incoming" traffic. I do not want the answers from the machines.  Am
i wrong with that ? Does snort neeed the outgoing traffic for defrag
?

...i switched on the asynchronous_link but it doesn't change anything.
I noticed that i cannot use the "flow" option even with asynchronous link...
Snort 1.9 does not recognize the alarms declared with
"flow:to_server,established" .
