Hello:

I've been looking high and low for something that would allow me to look
at raw packet header information.  Thought I was going to have to write
something myself with libpcap (shudder!) until I stumbled upon Ethereal.

Downloaded and installed Ethereal 0.8.2; this thing kicks!  Unfortunately,
I need to run it remotely from a customer's box, and then view the results
locally.  I was hoping to use tethereal for this, but it crashes almost
immediately upon invocation:

  GLib-CRITICAL **: file ghash.c: line 138 (g_hash_table_lookup): assertion
  `hash_table != NULL' failed.

  GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmem.c: line 563 (g_mem_chunk_alloc): assertion
  `mem_chunk != NULL' failed.

  Segmentation fault

(It usually displays between one and dozens of packets prior to crashing).
Also, I'm not sure if tethereal can provide the level of detail that
Ethereal does?

Thanks in advance...
