I don't have a Win2k/XP installation available to me to try it out on. Please note that I do not get it on all RPC session traces, but the session I supplied earlier did reproducibly trigger it for me.

I've tried running ethereal under a debugger on windows before, but: 1.) Using the mingw or cygwin supplied gdb on 'native-Win32' and/or MSVC-compiled binary's just never seemed to get me anything more useful than unexpected weird debugger error messages. 2.) Since im not a developer but just a humble sysadmin ive never been able to get a debugger to produce anything more serious than a simple backtrace, so in order to produce anything that's more complex I would require some serious help from a developer if anyone would like me to set breakpoints and 'step-through-the-code'. Are there any alternatives that might help out here? Is there a way to start ethereal producing more verbose debugging output ? Is there a way to force it to produce a crash when the assertion fails and submit that output to the list ? Is there another free debugger available for Win32 (that anyone on this list knows how to use) besides gdb ? > > "gtk_widget_map()" isn't called by any Ethereal code, except by our > internal version of the CList widget (which is there because older > Just a long shot here - but would it theoretically be possible for differences that might possibly exist between these versions of this "CList widget" be the cause of this issue ? > > I think we're also distributing an older > version of the 1.3.x build. > Does this imply that the precompiled Ethereal is compiled/linked against a v ersion of GTK that's older than the version that's supplied on the GTK/win32 website, and that I am to expect problems when I use that newer version ? Anyways, thanks for the feedback, J.Smith
