Re: [sniffer] Error_Bad_Matrix

[Pete McNeil]

I believe the beta is not involved, but corrupted rulebases are. The corrupted rulebase problem appears to be related to a connectivity issue - though that is not yet certain. Most have reported that upon manually downloading their rulebase the problem went away. False positive reports have indicated a corrupted rulebase (1-3 byte pattern matches - which are impossible). Error_Bad_Matrix also points to a corrupted rulebase file.

I'm continuing to research the problem. (Catching up on responses right now though).

I am seeing my log file continue to fill with "Error_Bad_Matrix" errors and sniffer failing since a lot of spam is getting through. I was running the beta but have gone back to the original version just now. I did a manual update when the program change had no effect and it's back up. I checked last nights log and the problem started with date code 20040325083243 and continued until now. This is for your info since I was using the beta.
