Hello zingers.

The mime-attached capture file (in tcpdump format) can be used to cause an
instant and rather complete crash in ethereal 0.8.9.

This was tested running Ethereal under OpenBSD 2.7 and under Debian 
GNU/Linux (reasonably current).  In both cases, the ucd-snmp package
was *not* linked in.

To reproduce the crash, load the capture and select packet #2.

The trace was generated by sending an snmp query to an Apple AirPort
base station (running some version of Karlbridge).

Let me know if there's more info I can provide.

PS.  Say 'hi' to Richard Sharpe for me.  Thanks!
