I have a capture that causes a segmentation fault in ethereal. It
displays fine with TCP dump. I have tried Ethereal 0.10.5, 0.10.6 and
0.10.8, with identical results. We had a hard time capturing the trace
because ethereal will segfault when using the display live function, and
it segfaulted after a little while of capturing to a file.
I do have a core file, and can create more easily. I'm loading ethereal
from RPM so I don't have any debugging symbols loaded.
We've been running ethereal on our network for a while, so this was
surprising to me. We are capturing attached to a monitor port on a
Cisco 6500 running IOS. The traffic is mainly DNP-3 (used to read and
manage RTU's and meters by the electrical industry).
The current capture is 235K, so I didn't think it would be appropriate
to blast that to a large distribution list. I will happily:
1. Provide the capture and/or core file to interested parties
2. compile an image with debugging flags whilst recreating the problem
3. assist in whatever other way is desired by the development team.
