Subject: [Ethereal-users] Crashes on Win98 and WinME fixed


Hello all,

A lot of people recently reported crashes of Ethereal 0.10.8 on Win98 and WinME at startup.
This issue is solved now. It took some time to track it down. Ethereal didn't crash within the
function with the bug, thus it was a little bit complicated to locate it. But I finally got it.

Those who don't want to wait for the next release can download an installer with fixed Ethereal
binaries at http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/buildbot-builds/
(Choose the newest at the bottom, at least revision 12970)

Regards,
Lars
