I do see similar listings from snort concerning 'memory consumption exceeds 1048576 but my firewall has 8GB of memory. Most of the memory is consumed by cache.
All messages concerning memory faults shows '0'.

It has not stopped again since the last update so I will keep an eye on it.

It's likely an issue of memory...specifically, lack of it. Check your log files for 'memory' ...something like:

grep -i memory /var/log/*

If you find instances of the OOM killer coming around and shutting down IDS, you'll have found your issue.
