Hi,

I've been using an old version and decided to compile 0.8.8 for a client
under RedHat 6.2  When I look at ICMP Echo packets it looks as though
the Sequence Number field is byte swapped (this because the sequence
number under Ethereal goes 0, 256, 512,... while the client software
sees it go 0,1,2,...).  I did not see this on the mailing list, but
IIRC, was alright in earlier versions.  Am I confused or is Ethereal?
