Appologies, as I did not attach the data!

Original message as follows:

Hi,
	I'm running slackware Linux 7.0, with v 2.2.17 of the kernal,
        GTK 1.2.6, and ethereal v 0.8.18, and am having a problem
        looking at the Protocol Hierarchy stats on the file included
        (reading the file uncompressed, zipped here to make the mail
        smaller).

	I start up ethereal (installed both by compiling it myself and
        from a pre-compiled binary), and it gives the following messages
        to the shell:

	pc055.cs.york.ac.uk$ ethereal -v

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
ethereal 0.8.18, with GTK+ 1.2.6, with GLib 1.2.6, without libpcap, with libz 1.1.3, with UCD SNMP 4.2

	I then open the included file (packet06_afternoon_03.3804), go
        to tools, protocol hierarchy statistics, then the progress bar
        gets to about 95%, before ethereal bombs out, with the following
        error to the shell:
        
pc055.cs.york.ac.uk$ 
** ERROR **: file proto.c: line 998 (proto_tree_add_string): assertion failed: (hfinfo->type == FT_STRING)
aborting...

[4]+  Aborted                 ethereal  (wd: /local/hda3/davidh/netmonitor/ethereal-0.8.18)
(wd now: /local/hda3/davidh/netlogs)

	I have a few other examples of files which cause this error,
        which I can provide if you wish. I also have a few files,
        gathered in the same way, which will produce this protocol
        information.

	The files are produced using tcpdump, on a linux box, of the
        same build, using the options:
        tcpdump -s 196 -w filename

	I was interested in the breakdown of what protocols are appearing in a troubbled segment of my network.

	Also, a facility to print this screen would be really useful, at present I take a snapshot and print the gif produced.

	Yours

	Dave Hartburn
