Description

for the stream_size keyword, the <= and >= modifiers function the same as the < and > modifiers respectively. When the = modifier matches, the <= and >= modifiers do not match.

When the following rules are applied to the specified pcap:

Alerts for >=138 (517315) and <=138 (517316) should occur as =138(517311) does.

The following alerts were generated on 2.1beta4 but the same issue exists in previous issues.
