Title: Message
Hi
all,
The
crash problem is caused by a non-FW1 capture file being interpreted as a FW1
capture. There is a protocol preference for the Ethernet dissector which allows
Ethereal to interpret a given capture as being a FW1 capture. The default value
of this preference is off.
And
to ethereal-dev list:
However the crashes Mike mentions mean that the FW1
dissector currently does not handle "incorrect packets" in a robust way. Maybe
we should rewrite the FW1 dissector so it performs the job of a heuristic
dissector and only sets the protocol info if FW1 dissection
succeeded.
Regards,
Olivier
The
Gdk warnings are annoying but not critical. Are you using a proportional font
or a font with a fixed width?
Do
you have a small capture (you can share) which causes the
crash?

Olivier

Hello,
I'm running Ethereal 0.10.0 on my Windows 2000
PC. I often get the errors below.
(ethereal.exe:1700): Gdk-WARNING **:
gdk_text_size: gdk_nmbstowchar_ts failed
(ethereal.exe:1700): Gdk-WARNING **:
gdk_win32_draw_text: gdk_nmbstowchar_ts failed
Also, Ethereal crashes very frequently with the
message "Ethereal.exe has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows."
I've had the same problem with previous version
0.9.9 and 0.9.16.
Is anyone else experiencing similar
problems? Any solutions/suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
