Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] bug in editcap start time and end time? -A -B
It sounds preety odd to me....
why should strptime be yielding two diferent timezones for two
different calls...
Even more odd is that on my mac the attached script yields two
different TZs but editcap works!
I'm attaching you a test script (a modification of the last one), if
it fails it is a plattform problem, you might want to open a bug to
the distributuion you are using (I'm opening one to apple, this is at
least a documentation bug) In the meanwhile I'll look for a
workarround of this issue.
An interesting test would be to check how the windows version (which
uses "our own" strptime) works
