Hi list,
sorry I dont fix it instead of complaining but life interferes with time
available for hacking atm.


This has happened during the last week
on a RH7.1 box, after checking out cvs and running autogen
autogen will die after complaining that it did not find snmp.h
I do not have ucd-snmp installed since i care very little about snmp.
Previsoulsy it just configured my build without snmp, now autogen dies.

running ./autogen.sh --without-ucdsnmp   works. I did not need to specify
this flag
explicitely before. No drama, but inconvenient.


starting ethereal with     ./ethereal -n -r <random-capture>.cap
opening preferences, changing a boolean prefs value, such as the one in
protocols/AH, or one of the NFS ones
and then clicking APPLY will make ethereal dump core.

starting ethereal without loading any captures, changing the preference
setting, APPLY and SAVE works.
If I then exit ethereal and restart it with  ./ethereal -n -r
<random-capture>.cap  it works with the changed
prefs value.

so:
If I change a prefs value while i have a capture loaded, my ethereal will
coredump when i click APPLY.
