We don’t make changes to preprocess it’s in a rule update. It’s possible that this alert may not have been included in 
the past and we just introduced it.  That’s a possibility.  But we didn’t change any code with this release.

That's what we did. 
We got more than 250k of them today. Sguil server died. We had to delete those 250k alerts before being able to 
restart it successfully...

As you all know, however, that is a preprocessor alert.  It may be as simple as shutting that preprocessor rule off?

    I noticed that too on the last Snort update. Getting a LOT more alerts. I also updated the rules at the same 
time and never went back to the old rules to see if that was where the change came in?
