Bro IDS was  storing all of my files in the logs/current directory for the
last couple of days. I restarted bro to see if the files would rotate into
the proper directories instead I got this.


drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 36864 Nov  2 22:21 2000-00-
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Nov  2 22:21 2000-25-

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Nov  2 22:21 2057-18-
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Nov  2 22:21 2057-19-
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    19 Nov  2 22:22 current -> /data/bro/spool/bro

Anyone got any ideas why this happened?

Also I used "broctl deploy" first then that ran for a couple of days then I
ran "broctl stop" that when the weirdness happened after I ran broctl
deploy.
