The Snort database schema was modified about a month ago in the 1.9
branch. The DB inserts may be failing when it attempts to mess with the
new last_cid field. Try upgrading your schema to v106. That may solve
your problem. The instructions for upgrading follow.

From the Changelog:

2002-09-03 Roman Danyliw <romandanyliw.com>

       * src/output-plugin/spo_database.c

         - DB schema v106
         - Added the sensor.last_cid field to the schema so the
           database can store the last used cid for a given sensor.
           This field will ensure that a cid will never be reused.

           Upgrading from v105 -> v106 is as simple as:

           mysql> ALTER TABLE sensor ADD last_cid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL;
           mysql> UPDATE schema SET vseq=106;

            psql> ALTER TABLE sensor ADD last_cid INT8;
            psql> UPDATE schema SET vseq=106;
