Run almost any script from /etc/init.d/ with no arguments and you should
see this among the usage help:
zap
Reset a service that is currently stopped, but still marked as started,
to the stopped state. Basically for killing zombie services.
So, "/etc/init.d/snort zap" should get it *really* stopped, as far as the
system is concerned; then a normal "start" should work.
Good luck,
