Multiple Snort instances processing Pcap files

I've developed a script (CentOS) to process .pcap files as they arrive in a directory. It starts an instance of Snort to process the file (snort -y -r <pcap file> -c snort.conf -l <a unique directory for the given .pcap>). I'm having occasional issues when multiple instances of Snort are running at the same time, the processing terminates for some files with the message "Error during Snort processing". If I process the file w/o other instances of Snort running, it works fine. It seems to get worse (more failures) the more instances of Snort I have running at once. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue? Thanks - Jon
