The core dump useful only if we have the binary image of tethereal *and*
it might also require a machine with the same shared libraries; I don't
have a Solaris 8 machine handy.

Instead, try running gdb or dbx on the core dump and getting a stack
trace, and send us the stack trace.

It would also help to send us the capture file, if it doesn't have
packets in it that you wouldn't want to send out.  (Try seeing whether
you get a core dump from a capture containing *only* packet 3 of the
capture in question - you can use "editcap" to create a capture file
with only packet 3; that way, at least you wouldn't be sending other
packets that might contain data you wouldn't want sent out.)
