Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Ethereal locks up when stopping capture

I have a problem where Ethereal locks up when stopping a capture, as described in the FAQ at "Q5.45 : Ethereal hangs after I stop a capture". This occurs with network name resolution turned off. Lockup seems to occur at random times after starting the capture.

I am using Ethereal 0.10.6 on Linux 2.4.20. It was compiled locally with gtk+2.4.3. I am using libpcap-0.8.3.

I have saved the capture file from my /tmp directory and have gzipped it and attached it to this message. I hope the list server will pass it along. If not I can post it to a web page.

Also, after it had locked up I killed it with SIGTRAP and ran a backtrace in gdb on the core file. I have inserted the trace output below.

A note: The capture file includes an http session between me and this list's web portal. I have subsequently changed my password.

Thanks,

Bob S.
