|Hello,
|Thank you for the help. The problem was fixed, but then reapeared again
|today with a different packet. This one is not decoded 
|correctly by ethereal
|and I guess that is why it cannot go into pdml. Here is the situation:
|
|tethereal -Tpdml -r b2.cap
|
|.....
|Unhandled exception ("XCEPT_GROUP_ETHEREAL", group=1, code=2)

The exception is thrown since the protocol dissector is pointing at an
invalid location in the packet data for the given protocol field.

|This is using the development version from today (26 april) 
|tethereal -v
|tethereal 0.10.3 (CVS 20040426133230)
|
|Can you please take a look? I am attaching the troublesome 
|packet again.

The problem lies within the "Data" portion of the DLSW protocol (data part):
incorrect offsets and lengths are used to highlight the matching packet
data.

|If it cannot be decoded can it be skipped or something?

We'll have to provide a fix for this error.

Regards,

Olivier
