Now barnyard won't start:

Snort.conf has:
grep output /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf
# Step #4: Configure output plugins
# output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128
output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128
Was the spo_unified log format changed in some way?
I've deleted a bunch of log files to get barnyard to start and stay
running, but as soon as snort creates a new logfile, barnyard exits with a
FATAL ERROR.
