Can you reproduce this problem at will? Anything in verbose mode in Suricata.log? 

Can you narrow it down to a relation of a single interface configuration (as you mention in your initial mail)?

Thanks

Is there an easy way to get Suricata to tell me what it's doing that would cause this? It occurs on real interfaces with low traffic, loopback, as well as bonds where there's no trafic.
