Hello,

Below is the stack trace of a crash I'm encountering when launching ethereal.
I got it working a couple of times but most of the time, it just crashes.
I'm using the latest available version of ethereal (0.10.6) and of winpcap (WinPcap version 3.1 beta3 (packet.dll version 3, 1, 0, 23), based on libpcap version 0.8.1).


Dont know if this is related but I'm using it with a VPN connection. windump works without any problem with the same setup.

I'm on Windows XP (French) with SP2 installed.

Let me know if you need more information.

Arnaud
