[Bro] bro segfaults on startup

[David Vasil]

Hello, I have an x86_64 RHEL4u2 running a 2.6.14.2 kernel on which I 
compiled bro-1.0 with the following options:

./configure --prefix=/opt/bro

And did a make install and make install-brolite to create a base 
configuration.  After that I attempt to run /opt/bro/etc/bro.rc -start 
which results in the following:

[root at endace bro]# etc/bro.rc start
bro.rc: Running as non-root user bro
bro.rc: Starting /opt/bro/etc/bro.rc: line 229:  6635 Segmentation fault 
      "${BRO}" ${cmd_opts} 2>>"${info_log}" >>"${info_log}"
.........bro.rc: Failed to start Bro
.... FAILED
[root at endace bro]# etc/bro.rc start
bro.rc: Running as non-root user bro
bro.rc: Starting /opt/bro/etc/bro.rc: line 229:  6721 Segmentation fault 
      "${BRO}" ${cmd_opts} 2>>"${info_log}" >>"${info_log}"
.........bro.rc: Failed to start Bro
.... FAILED

In dmesg the following is shown:
bro[6635]: segfault at 00000000fffcf678 rip 0000000000561ef5 rsp 
00000000fffcf650 error 4
bro[6721]: segfault at 00000000ffaafa58 rip 0000000000561ef5 rsp 
00000000ffaafa30 error 4

In /var/log/messages the following is shown:
Jan  9 11:38:34 endace su(pam_unix)[6598]: session opened for user bro 
by root(uid=0)

Notice, info, and alarm logfiles are created in bro's logs directory, 
however, all of these files are empty.  I also tried the bro-0.9a11 
branch, and it behaved the exact same way.  Am I missing something?  Thanks!
