Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] ethereal 0.10.11 WSP dissector bug

["Olivier Biot (Ethereal)" <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately I have to confirm the WSP dissector no longer works with the 
current snapshot I just built from scratch (distclean, setup and packaging 
targets in a row) a couple of minutes ago. I had to disable WSP in order to 
let Ethereal read a capture contaiing WSP.

The Ethereal version I have, is:

Version 0.10.11 (SVN 20050601084715) (C) 1998-2005 Gerald Combs

Compiled with GTK+ 2.4.14, with GLib 2.4.7, with WinPcap (version unknown),
with libz 1.2.2, with libpcre 4.4, with Net-SNMP 5.1.2, with ADNS.

Running with WinPcap version 3.1 beta3 (packet.dll version 3, 1, 0, 23), 
based on libpcap version 0.8.1 on Windows XP Service Pack 2, build 2600.

Ethereal invariably aborts with a Windows error pop-up *anytime* WSP traffic 
is found :(

Best regards,

Olivier
