Re: 2.6.0 mem bug or me?

I assume there is something wrong with Snort, although i've heard 
nothing about it. We have a machine with 2GB real memory and 1GB swap 
(or maybe the other way around) that normally runs 7 Snort instances. 
Under 2.4 we had no problems. with 2.6, some of the instances want up to 
1,5GB memory. The Snort processes are constantly being killed. And to 
any Snort developers who are reading, i set every single one of those 
Snort instances to use the lowmem detection option. It doesn't help.
