ERROR_BAD_MATRIX is definitely a corrupted rulebase file. A manual download should solve the problem.

Another indicator is a false positive where the rule match span is very short (only a few bytes). We have no patterns like this in our system.

If you are seeing either of these then you should download your rulebase manually.

Hope this helps,

Me too.  I have 2252 "ERROR_BAD_MATRIX" entries in my log so far today.  Pete, what's going on here?  I am still running v2r1, not the latest alpha/beta version.

Subject: [sniffer] Error_Bad_Matrix

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.
