Guy,
This is because there is another ethereal in your path. I used execlp and
specified "ethereal" as the filename to execute. It seems as though you
started "./ethereal" and there is a good ethereal in your path.
Try
PATH=. ./ethereal -F -S
That should set it up so execlp only sees the current path. I don't see any
other execs in ethereal so this should be alright.
