The problem is that neither Sake nor I know why the trace is corrupted. From
the code it looks impossible that dumpcap generated such corrupted capture.

Sake/GV,
I don't fully understand all of this. If I have it correct the
packet being captured has the wrong packet length counter in its header or
am I missing something else? Is this something that can be corrected or
compensated for by capturing in a different way?
Thanks for the help,
Joe

the phdr struct is passed on from capture_loop_cb to

must have supplied a wrong value of phdr->caplen for it to to faultly
written to file. However this contradicts with the fact that the whole
packet is indeed written after the header, because the following code
should have trimmed the data to phr->caplen:
nwritten = fwrite(pd, 1, phdr->caplen, fp);
This is what I was expecting. In the corrupted file, what the is value
of
the "len" field?
The packet header is:
BE 47 F1 4B FF ED 0B 00 62 00 00 00 66 00 00 00
ie incl_len is 98, while orig_len is 102
Which is totally legal... I have no idea, apart from adding assertions in
the dumpcap code, hoping to spot something weird.

And the packet data is:
01 00 5E 00 05 DD 00 12 DA 9F 79 1B 08 00
45 00 00 58 00 00 40 00 18 11 7F A4 C6 8C 36 87 E0 00 05 DD
7E 35 20 1D 00 44 9F 74
00 3A 00 8C 00 0F DF 77 02 16 2C E4 6B 01 01 00 02 16 2C E2 00 00 00 00
00
05 30 20 00 00 00 07 00 05 2F 58 00 00 00 02 04 4E 45 52 43 41 48 00 00
00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
ie 14 bytes ethernet header, 20 bytes IP header, 8 bytes UDP header and
60
bytes payload => 102 (0x66) bytes in total
Cheers,
Sake
