Description

When running suricata processing a pcap file, I see different alerts between runmode=autofp and runmode=single.
Some of the differences could be thresholds, but for sid:2221010, which have apps-layer-event, but no thresholds, I still see differences.

The attached script runs suricata on a specific pcap file with a specified runmode. To run the two cases, I do:
./test-one-file LL1999_Week1_Tue_inside.pcap single
./test-one-file LL1999_Week1_Tue_inside.pcap autofp

Comparing the results, there are different number of alerts for sid:2221010
grep 1:2221010:1 single-results/LL1999_Week1_Tue_inside.sorted | wc -l
4694
ken@lab-39:~/test-suricata$ grep 1:2221010:1 autofp-results/LL1999_Week1_Tue_inside.sorted | wc -l
4373
