Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Re: Bug report for ethereal-0.10.10 on Fedora x86_64 version (continuation)

[Pierre JUHEN <pierre.juhen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am really stucked on this bug.


Facts :

Ethereal 0.10.9 recompiled in the same environment in x86_64 mode is OK 
(bug doesn't show up)

Ethereal 0.10.10 RPMs for i386 (Fedora Core 3)  mode are OK (bug doesn't 
show up)

=> bug is specific to the x86_64 version of 0.10.10 release.

Bug does occur only when doing synchronous capture.

Bug occurs wether autoscrolling is set or not.



Memory corruption seems to occur on this line :

menu.c : 863         if ((menu_item = 
gtk_item_factory_get_widget(ifactory, dup)) != NULL) {

of

set_menu_sensitivity (ifactory=0xb88d30, path=0xb5a8a3 "", val=1) at 
menu.c:863

ifactory seems to be OK.

dup =  "/Statistics/Service Response Time/Fibre Channel..."

before the execution of the line backtrace shows :

Now I need hints to go further....
