From the Snort BUGS file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bug reports should be sent to roesch@snort.org, and cc'd to
snort-devel@lists.sourceforge.net (Snort Developers mailing list)
Please include the following information with your report:
System Architecture (Sparc, x86, etc)
Operating System and version (Linux 2.0.22, IRIX 5.3, etc)

Any Snort error messages

Regardless of the fact that you completely ignored all of the above and
required me to dig through my Bugtraq backlog to find this message,
here's the patch to fix the problem. I'll assume you're on Linux.
