Dear Mr Author,
    I'm writing to report a bug in the Ethereal, and hope the follow information will be helpful to you. My environment:
    *OS -- Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
    *Version of GDK+ -- 1.3.0
    *Version of Ethereal -- 0.8.18
    *Operation sequence -- Set capture filter to ICMP, ping some host in windows console, return to Ethereal, select Decode As menu, check Do not decode, press OK. Then a exception will be thrown out.
    By using debug tool, i can trace into file 'decode_as_dlg.c' line 616 and find out the call stack which is enclosed on the end of the letter.
    In addition, although Ethereal is one of the best net tools i have ever seen, some improvements could be done to make it more perfect. Here are some of my proposals:
    #Why Ethereal can only receive packet but can not send? The latter is as important as the former, i think. NetXray can perform them two!
    #Can i operate the capture filter as convenient as the display filter in the next version? And i would be glad to see the two filters share the same instruction.
    #Advertise for Ethereal! A excellent software like Ethereal should receive more attention. ^_^
    Last, thanking for your significant efforts to make the net-world-sight more clearly and easily. I will always be your devotional user!
    Best regards!
