Nice,

but when I want to switch between the different graph types, wireshark
crashes with a segfault.

Do you experience the same or is it more related to a local problem on
my side? I just had to replace a faulty harddisk with the OS on it.

Cheers Alex

I just managed to cause a crash by switching to 'throuput' in the direction where no traffic was transmitted... I'll take a look.

Martin

I just submitted a fix for the problem I could see in r46079 (wasn't allocating enough elements for a tput graph, so was going off the end of the array trying to add new ellipses).

Martin 

Alex, do you still see crashes when switching graph type?
