Anyway, I tried it and it seems to work better, although compared to the

expect the output to be the same, no?

Hmmm, yeah. I'll see if I can get my Windows build going again though IIRC I never could capture stuff with my own builds.

Well it works fine for me... Not sure why your SVN version isn't dissecting the ICMP part. Does the file load in Wireshark? (Do you have the ICMP dissector disabled--only in the SVN version?)
