Hi,

From the looks of it glib runs into trouble, but not obvious why. I think you should file a complete bugreport at https://bugs.wireshark.org. Be sure to fill out all info requested.

Thanx,
Jaap

Hi Devs,

I am consistently getting this error while using tshark-1.0.2 [Please note this do'nt seems a problem with dumpcap, as stand alone dumpcap runs happily and exits happily] {Isn't has something to do with the way dumpcap handles signal ??} on tracing core with gdb I got following:
