Hello,
Ethereal is crashing on me after I stop any capture of one or more
packets. The output of 'ethereal -v' is:
ethereal 0.10.0a
Compiled with GTK+ 2.2.4, with GLib 2.2.3, with libpcap 0.8, with
libz 1.2.1,
with libpcre 4.4, without UCD-SNMP or Net-SNMP, without ADNS.
Running with libpcap version 0.8 on Linux 2.6.1
Below is the error message and a stack trace. Now, I've grabbed a CVS
snapshot (cvs 20040129035904) and the problem seems to have been fixed,
so I don't really expect much here, but I was wondering if perhaps
somebody had a patch for this particular crash, or if somebody could
point me in the right direction to put one together myself? I use
Gentoo at the moment, and it seems that some users (like myself) end up
with a broken ethereal by default. Gentoo's package management system
(portage) would be able to transparently apply a fix for users who might
otherwise say naughty words about not being able to run ethereal ;)
Thanks for any info,
Lyle
