Hello

I am facing a crash when I enable the option
  'Try Heuristic LTE-MAC over UDP framing'
and load an appropriate pcap.

The crash does not occur when I turn off this option, and load the same pcap.

This is the log:

Also, I had tried doing the same on Windows. It was able to open the
pcap correctly on the first few occassions. But it consistently
crashes on windows as well now.

I have tried things such as restarting the system etc, but nothing works.

Any help/suggestions is appreciated.
