Snort 2.9.4.6 pkg v2.6.0 Update

I got this error, what does it mean?
Thanks.pfsense 2.1 x64
That would indicate that at the instant the Snort binary's output plugin attempted to call the API function to insert an IP address into the snort2c table in the packet filter engine, the engine process was not there or not where the output plugin expected it to be. The event immediately preceding the error also gives me a clue. It says the check_reload_status() function in pfSense is reloading the firewall filter. That may temporarily stop and restart the processes the Snort binary plugin was trying to contact in order to insert the IP address for blocking.
