Looking thourgh specflies it found the following patch in RedHats Fedora:

RedHat/Fedora ethereal.spec:
 * Mon Jun 14 2004 Phil Knirsch <pknirsch@xxxxxxxxxx> 0.10.4-2
 - Include ia64 segfault patch (#113726).

 	fi->start = start;

As I failed to understand what it does and as the RedHat bugzilla doesn't
allow anonymous access to this bug: Can anyone explain to ma what this
fix does (aka why it is necessary)?

Thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
