Subject:        Ethereal save trace formatting  bug?

Hi,

I was running 0.10.7 today and captured an http session of binary data that I wanted to save to a file for processing.  In the view "follow tcp stream" window, ascii values that are not printable show as '.', it appears that when you save a file in ascii mode it will save 0x23 as the value for all the '.'s regardless of what they originally were.

It appears 0.10.4 is the last version to not have this problem, i.e., even in saving as ascii, the values are saved correctly.

Thanks,

Mike
