Comment # 6 on bug 10754 from
Following on from the uploaded zip file:

The people who sent me the original file did not consciously change anything
but sent me the file again as a zipped file. They said they were able to open
it themselves in Wireshark.

I tried to open it using v1.12.2 and got a different error message:
The file "2.rf5" appears to be damaged or corrupt. (k12_open: source descriptor
length 88 < 72)

They said they were using version v1.10.10 because "newer version does not work
well with older K1205". So, I downgraded from v1.12.2 to v1.10.11 and now I can
open the file correctly.

Seems like something in the update from 1.10 to 1.12 broke something in this
area. Perhaps the bug report should look into this instead and treat the
original file I had as some sort of file corruption during the transfer?
