Have a look at bug 1723 which already has a patch to improve the
parsing of text2pcap. The author of the patch has not responded to
the latest comments of Richard though. Maybe we should take his work
and polish it for him?

Thanks for the pointer, Sake! I will have a look at it and see if it
fixes the issue I have and also if I can do anything to incorporate
Richard's comments into the patch (unless Jack is already working on
it but hasn't had the time to finishing the 'polishing').
Thanks Abhik. I suspect the guy that originally posted the patch lost
the will to work on it any further after nothing happened for three
months... If you could polish up his patch a bit more, that would be
fabulous.
On a side note (not /neccessarily/ something i expect you to do anything
about, Abhik), it would be fabulous if text2pcap had some tests... just
some sample input and expected output such that we can check there
aren't any regressions as patches get applied. This is true of much of
our code... there aren't enough tests for my liking. How do others feel
about this?
Cheers
Richard
