Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark 1.0.7 segfault when loading PCNFSD capture

From: Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It looks like "data" in pcnfsd_decode_obscure() might be NULL or have an
invalid value. Would it be possible to open a ticket at
bugs.wireshark.org and attach your capture file? The bug and/or
attachment can be marked private if needed.
