Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Bug report for ethereal-0.10.10 on Fedora x86_64 version

[Pierre JUHEN <pierre.juhen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Still looking for the bug.

Facts :

Ethereal 0.10.9 recompiled in the same environment in x86_64 mode is OK 
(bug doesn't show up)

Ethereal 0.10.10 RPMs for i386 (Fedora Core 3)  mode are OK (bug doesn't 
show up)

=> bug is specific to the x86_64 version of 0.10.10 realease.

Bug does occur only when doing synchronous capture.



Gnu debugger analysis :

Bug seems to occur when ethereal rebuilds the graphical interface, 
probably in the menu rebuilding
process (gtk/menu.c), seemingly in walk_menu_tree_for_selected_tree_row 
recursive calls.

During this process, it seems that the stack is overwriten 3/5 layers up.

Regular backtrace seem to show that it occurs when creating the menu 
"/Statistics/Service Response Time/ONC-RPC...."

This part is quite difficult to understand with the debugger.

I need help.

Thank you

Pierre JUHEN
