I have noticed the same problem: sort dies sometimes. I hoped to intercept
this problem to check wether snort runs every hour (and restart if it
isn't), but I still get empty reports every now and then.

Submit a bugreport. I am running potato with 2.4.6-pre3 on a PowerMac, but
still have the same problems. I have also a computer running woody and I
have only received empty reports. I do not know if this is still a bug or
if I simply have not had an attack or something.
