[Fink-devel] Ethereal

[Gary Kerbaugh]

Title: Ethereal

Hi again Max,

    OK, guinea pig time again. This time it's a real pleasure. I lost a hard drive recently so I have a very fresh install of OS X and Fink. Still, Ethereal 9.1 and 9.2 both crashed regularly with errors relating to memory and image manipulation. I sent you e-mails earlier with some of the error messages. Remember, this is a very fresh setup; I'm not using Gnome, for instance.

    Well, I doggedly updated to Ethereal 9.3 when you posted it to CVS. Voila!! (Sorry about the French, but I don't know the German word) It works perfectly! In fact, it's bulletproof!! I tried everything I could to crash it and it hasn't crashed even once.

    Naturally, Ethereal has my most ardent support for stable status. It's a phenomenal tool. I'm currently using it's output to help teach a computer class. You can't look at much Ethereal output and not learn network protocols! Thank you again for your superhuman efforts, in both development and package maintenance!

When we jumped into Sicily, the units became separated, and I couldn't find anyone. Eventually I stumbled across two colonels, a major, three captains, two lieutenants, and one rifleman, and we secured the bridge. Never in the history of war have so few been led by so many.
