I understand your point but:
- that tool is working in kernel mode, where a more complex format is not that
obvious to manage.
- previous versions of wireshark could manage that header without any problem.
- I don't see any side-effect in managing a record that is greater than the
piece of data to dissect
After all, there should have been some changes in the code which is now
preventing the file to be displayed.
So ... why not making it work again?
