Well, it dumps core if I try to print the capture with a
fresh-from-the-top-of-the-CVS-tree Ethereal on UNIX; it's blowing up in
the Microsoft Proxy dissector.

Unfortunately, it appears to have trashed the stack in the process:

(gdb) where
#0  0x28486334 in strncpy () from /usr/lib/libc.so.3
#1  0x80b003f in dissect_user_info_2 (pd=0x0, offset=0, fd=0x0, tree=0x0)
    at packet-msproxy.c:389
(gdb) 

("main()" isn't at the top of the stack), but we can probably figure out
the problem with some more work.
