> On what platform are you running Ethereal
Sorry, I forgot.
Linux 2.4.12 ( starting distro slackware )
libpcap 0.62 (0.71)
Must say that if I download the binary package from slackware it works
correctly.
ethereal -v say:
ethereal 0.9.0, with GTK+ 1.2.10, with GLib 1.2.10, with libpcap 0.7,
with libz 1.0.8, without SNMP
ldd ethereal

Yes, unfortunally.

But it is what happening. If I save the "corrupted" using the "libpcap"
format the next capture is OK.
