Default [Snort-users] Snort dies

Hi, I'm doing my first snort installation. I installed it without =
problems and configured it to log alerts via syslog. Everything seems =
OK, but after running for a while it dies, sending the following =
message to syslog:

May 23 10:49:39 localhost kernel: eth0.7: dev_set_promiscuity(master, =
-1)
May 23 10:49:39 localhost kernel: device eth0.7 left promiscuous mode

This seems to occur whenever the following traffic is detected

May 23 10:49:39 localhost snort[8729]: [119:15:1] (http_inspect) =
OVERSIZE REQUEST-URI DIRECTORY <eth0.7> {TCP} xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:59635 -> =
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80

This traffic originates in my internal network and goes to MSN services =
like Hotmail and WebMessenger.

I'm using Snort 2.4.4 with the current ruleset, running on a Red Hat =
Linux box with kernel version 2.4.20-8. I'm also using logsurfer to scan =
the syslog file and send alerts via mail. The NIC is an Intel PRO1000 GT =
with VLAN suport enabled in the kernel; it has 7 subinterfaces but I'm =
running snort in only one of them. The box is also running tcpdump in =
another subinterface.
