Hi Zulkurain,

I run Snort on an OpenBSD 3.5 box myself, and I've never run into this
problem. Seeing as how I have a similar environemnt to yours, though, I
may be able to help you figure out what's going on. Could you send me:

* dmesg for the boxes this is occuring on (perhaps they just simply
don't have enough RAM to cope with what you're trying to do, there's a
driver problem, etc.)
* All the messages from /var/log/message surrounding this error (in case
there are other things which are leading up to this problem)

I can't guarantee I can solve this, but I'd be happy to give it a shot.
