Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Bug 976

From: Martin Mathieson <martin.mathieson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 13:51:04 +0100
This bug doesn't cause a crash on my machine here (Suse 9.2).

Looking at frame 170 in the trace, it looks like tvb_get_ephemeral_text() struggles with the null character in the middle of the 4th parameter (in the WWW-Authenticate header) and returns NULL. The attached patch uses tvb_format_text() instead which also does a better job of showing the string.

Regards,
Martin
