Hi!
I have captured some network traffic using Ethereal 10.8 on a Debian machine. The capturing went well. During the analysis of the captured file, Ethereal 10.8. (both linux and win) crashes and tethereal reports a segmentation fault. I managed to locate (one of) the problematic packet (it is attached to this email). In widows version opening the file causes the crash. With tethereal (win) I have to specify some filtering to cause it, eg: tethereal -r crashing-2005-01-07.cap -w abc.cap tcp The linux version of tetheral reports a segmentation fault in this case. I managed to get the following message in some cases with windows version: 


tethereal 0.10.8 (SVN 20050103222645)
Compiled with GLib 2.4.6, with libpcap 0.8.3, with libz 1.1.4, with libpcre 4.4, with Net-SNMP 5.1, with ADNS. 
Running with libpcap version 0.8.3 on Linux 2.4.21.

has no problems with it on my box:

: tethereal  -r ~/mail/crashing-2005-01-07.cap
1 0.000000 193.2.72.62 -> 213.157.237.128 TCP [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
