Ulf and Martin,

I have updated to 0.10.14 and all is well. Thank you for taking
the time and effort.

I need to check up on new versions a bit more often than I have been.

Regards,

Mike Jacobs

0.10.3 has a crash problem in SIP-dissector

http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00014.html

The 0.10.3 version may crash when you select a SIP packet:
-------------------------------------------------------------
-When the SIP packet is sent over TCP

-When the SIP packet is sent over UDP but neither to or from the default
port 5060
and not to or from a port defined as "Decode As../SIP"

-When the preference setting for UDP dissector is set to dissect by
heuristics first
(Edit/Preferences../Protocols/UDP/Try heursitic sub-dissectors first).
