Ethereal-users: [ethereal-users] Non-modal window deallocation bug in win32 build of ethereal
My first message, and it's a bug report! Hopefully I haven't got the wrong
list, or something that is repeated about once a month . . .
I started off using ethereal fine - it disabled NAT-32, but I expected that.
However, when using the real-time captured packets display, I found that,
since the capture status window was non-modal when in real-time mode, the
main window could be closed while leaving the capture window open. This then
caused problems with closing the capture window - on doing so I got a GPF
and the annoying sight of text being output in a command window to stderr
and then immediately closed by Windows . . . I managed to get a copy of the
output using "ethereal > out.txt". Here it is - looks to be fairly
straightforward debug assertions indicating premature deallocation of the
window objects, but I'm not into GTK, so I can't really fix it in the
source:

Also, I then tried to load some other applications, and internet ones failed
- possibly the GPF, or perhaps the packet driver dereferencing into what
should have been ethereal memory space . . .
Anyway, hope this helps - I know how annoying non-modal windows can be :-)
