The Dashboard process ran out of PHP memory. The current limit is set for 256 MB. Not common for this to happen. Do you have an extremely active network with a high rate of Snort alerts?

no 2 poor inter net connections 30/5 that doesn't pass 4m and a 5/.7
-
On the Snort dashboard widget, what is this set to:
"Enter number of recent alerts to display (default is 5)"If that is set to a crazy high number, then it could send it nuts.
-
No set to stock thinking 4 or 5

I don't have a theory to explain what caused the out-of-memory message. If this was a single event, it may just have been due to the phase of the moon relative to the spontaneous decay of a Higgs boson … ;).
If, on the other hand, it is a repeatable error for you, then some further investigation is called for. I assume from the info provided in your first post this is a pfSense 2.2-BETA box. Do you have any other packages running besides Snort?
