Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] wireshark GUI vs tshark

The file may not be corrupt but might contain packet(s) which are
exposing a tshark bug.  If you can post the capture file, that would
probably help.  If you don't wish to post it on the mailing list, you
can open a bug report and post it there instead, marking the file as
private if you so desire so only the core developers have access to it.

Jaap and Chris

I am running this on Win XP service pack 2.
I am using wireshark Version 1.2.4 (SVN Rev 30978).

The test.pcap file has been around for a while...so chances are it is 
not corrupt. It never crashes using the GUI...it just crashes and gives 
me that pop up when I run it with that tshark command.

This is about all the information that I can provide....unless you can 
think of something else that you need..??

Thanks,
Brian
