It's an issue for *all* TCP dissectors that do reassembly, even if they don't use "tcp_dissect_pdus()". It might also belong as a FAQ, as users not writing dissectors also run across it. > Now if I turn off the "Allow subdissector to desegment TCP streams" > preference for TCP?, I get my "Short Frame" error. How can I check if this > preference is set? You can't. If the user turns that option off, reassembly won't be done - which is as it should be. The error shouldn't be "Short Frame"; that happens on some occasions, not all of which are, I think, associated with TCP reassembly. Part of the problem might, I think, be due to requiring multiple lengths for tvbuffs, such as "size the packet would have been had it been reassembled". > Tvb_reported_length_Remaining still returns the reassembled length. Given that reassembly isn't being done, that would be a bug. _______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev
