[Bro] Bro hanging on some sensors

[Doug Burks]

Did these sensors work correctly before you added the Intel files?

Have you tried removing the Intel files from the equation?  If not,
please try commenting out the entries you added to
/opt/bro/share/bro/site/local.bro and then running:
sudo broctl install
sudo broctl restart

Are you running OnionSalt?  Do you have OnionSalt configured to
automatically restart Bro?  There are known issues with doing so,
which is why OnionSalt does not do so by default.  Please see:
https://code.google.com/p/security-onion/wiki/Salt#Features

This may not be an issue strictly related to Bro, so we may need to
move this conversation to the security-onion mailing list:
