I'm a bit confused because I've tried to open these two captures on a
recent build of ethereal on MacOS X (CVS tree updated this morning) and
the two are dissected properly.

On the other hand, I've just updated my CVS tree on my FreeBSD laptop
and I still have the same problem I described on ethereal-dev@.

It does not seem to be related to a difference in my preferences, as
I've tried with the default ethereal preference settings (I rename the
~/.ethereal directory to ~/.ethereal_old).

Follow tethereal outputs for me (checksum is incorrect because IP
addresses have been modified because of anonymization with ipsumdump):

As you can, frames 5 and 6 are not properly dissected in the first trace
whereas in the second one, frames 4 and 5 (the first frame is remove in
the second trace), there are properly recognized as EPM operations...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
