Comment # 12 on bug 11373 from
Thank you Evan, Michael and the rest of the team for a very quick fix. Applying
the patch and compiling does resolve the issue. Fixed!

I was working with largish pcap files (5-10 GB) and I couldn't pull out the
information without segfaulting in the middle. I wondered whether I was running
out of memory, the files were corrupt, or was in a wrong format. No, no, and
no. So I made the smallest pcap I could that still triggered the error, then
looked for strange values in the packets. Then removed packets one by one
looking for patterns. Since this was not a parser bug, this went nowhere.
