Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] My plugin worked with 0.10.10 but notwith0.10.11(Windows dll)
There is no fix other than recompiling your plugin for 0.10.11 (or going
back to Ethereal 0.10.10).
The problem is that your dissector is expecting a different layout of some
proto.h structure compared to what ethereal 0.10.11 is actually passing him
along.
so *ptr->p_id (or any other field of that sturcture) is now referencing
another part of memory from that structure.
