Perhaps, it is a particular packet that trigger the problem.
Try to split your capture file to find it.
Or use tshark.exe to see (inside the output) where it stops or loops.
I think printf should work (set "Preferences / Open a console window" to
"Always").

sean bzd a �crit :
I asked a similar question before but got no response. Can someone
please provide some direction?
Problem:
I have a custom dissector and works fine most of the time; but
sometimes, when I load the network capture containing packets (that
the dissector is supposed to understand), the Wireshark application
just hangs. The CPU consumption goes to 50% and stays there...it is as
if it is in a tight loop. I'm using version 1.2.2 but same happens
with different versions of wireshark; I know that the problem is in
the dissector because if I remove the dissector plugin, wireshark is
able to load the capture file. But i need some direction on how to
proceed forward. Can i put some printfs in the dissector or elsewhere?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sean
