Hi,

Ethereal just hangs before capturing starts.

Sometimes the text is displayed in the capturing window, of course
everything is
0%, and sometimes the text does not appear at all.

Any suggestions?

RH 6.1

an strace on the final lines gives me the following:

write(3, "\201\2\2\0[\2\300\3\201\2\2\0^\2\300\3+\1\1\0", 20) = 20
read(3, 0xbfffe0b8, 32)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL)        = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\1\1\362\16\0\0\0\0\r\0@\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32)
= 32
gettimeofday({946303854, 167464}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({946303854, 167637}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 2, 0) = 0
gettimeofday({946303854, 168193}, NULL) = 0
write(3, "8\2\4\0\f\0\300\3\0\0\10\0b\2\300\3>\1\7\0a\2\300\3~\0"...,
184) = 184ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 2, 0) = 0
recvfrom(7,  <----- hangs here


Thanks
