The files in the "randpkt" directory come from the tests run by Buildbot
(http://buildbot.ethereal.com). Error reporting is in a state of flux
right now. An email is sent to ethereal-dev if the "menagerie", "fuzzed
menagerie files", and "randpkt" find a problem, and the "fuzz" test
opens a Bugzilla ticket as well. The Bugzilla ticket currently contains
more information about the bug than the emails e.g.
http://bugs.ethereal.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68
I'd like to spend some time straigtening things out, but the fuzz test
script keeps finding bugs. :)
