Summary: freezes on start, uses 100% kernel cpu, cannot kill.
Product: Wireshark
Version: 1.0.6
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows 2000
Status: NEW
Severity: Blocker
Priority: High
Component: Wireshark
AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: quartz12h@xxxxxxxxx
Build Information:
I cannot provide such information, it won't start.
It is the 1.0.6 for windows. Just downloaded TODAY (feb. 21st 2009).

I used to use wireshark 1.0.0 in the past without problems.
In presence of sygate personal firewall and AVG antivirus.
Now it doesn't work. I installed the latest 1.0.6 and it still freezes on
start.
Process explorer show 100% cpu in kernel, and I cannot kill this task, I cannot
even shutdown the PC gracefully. I have to reset or power down!
Changes:
I recently removed a PPPoe stack because I now have a router.
I get the AVG updates but I installed it without the http scanner and without
the firewall (with special arguments to their setup.exe program, and it really
doesn't install any net interceptor).
I didn't changed any of the sygate firewall settings. It should not interfere
more nor less than before.
I also tuned my PC MTU from 1500 own to 1454 with TCP IP optimizer
(http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php) and the receive window is 260176.
Dunno if that matters to you, but there it is. I can provide more abotu the tcp
ip stack if I can find it.
That's the only changes in this PC. Wireshark barely show the small splash
screen and that's it, doesn't even repaint it when frozen (clearly loops
infinitely without i/o of any kind).
Note that this is windows 2000 sp4, although, like I said, I used to run 1.0.0
without problems, so the OS isn't the sensitive part. I think the boot sequence
of wireshark isn't immune to the abscence of something my pc recently stopped
providing (or presence of something new...).
