ethereal keep crashing at various asserts in fdopen.c in msvcr70.dll trying to start a capture. It won't open existing captures either: "The file xxxx could not be opened for some unknown reason"

You might try using /NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT instead of /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC.
But this is only guessing, I have no real idea how to solve this.
/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC is definitely closer to the mark. Everything works 
except ethereal. With /NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT nothing links.
I suspect I might have to recompile all the depenecies with VC7. Where 
are the windows sources to match the binaries in win32/development on 
ethereal.com?
