I just managed to dump core with dumpcap.
While I was capturing I removed the Ethernet plug. After 10-20 seconds,
Ethereal crashed and dumped core:

17:03:19          Err  file capture.c: line 368
(capture_input_error_message): assertion failed: (capture_opts->state ==
CAPTURE_PREPARING)
Aborted (core dumped)

The core did not provide any usable info.

Ulf, any ideas?

Btw: How about renaming dumpcap to tinycap as final name?

 ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
