I'm not sure if I did something wrong here...

I checked out the current CVS tree (4pm Eastern time, Tuesday),
ran ./autogen.sh, then make, then make install.  It appeared to
compile OK.   I then ran Ethereal, and tried to load the cap file
containing the "bad packet" I sent with the below email.  It
seg faulted (core dumped).  I then downloaded the nightly
build for 6-19 from the FTP site, compiled and ran that.
Same results.  I then tried both 6-18 and 6-17 nightly builds
and had the same results as well.  I then went back to the
released .18, which worked just fine, save for the dissector
bug, of course.

Am I doing something wrong?

802.11 dissector bug, fixed in the version in the CVS tree.
