Ok, here is a different 'twist' on this, has for 12 hours.
the 'package' in the ports collection runs fine

If I compile it on 4.3-stable (even with NO cpuflags set) it will core
dump.

Do I need to makeworld on 4.3stable with no cpuflags set?

If it runs fine from the package, then it seems to be somerhing in
4.3-stable that would be causing the problem?

I did report the bug on snort.org
