Folks,

I'm seeing a possible bug in ethereal 0.8.17a (which has been there since at
least 0.8.9).

When I receive an IPv6 ICMP message, as much of the original "offending" packet
as possible is returned - and you seem to be displaying that returned packet in
the packet list window rather than the newly received ICMP message, so it looks
like the "offending" packet has been sent twice. However, the decode window does
show the correct details.

Obviously it'd be better to see the offending packet going out and an ICMP
coming back...

I can provide sample packets if this would help.
