This is from dumpcap. Here is the complete stack. It occurring *while writing the IDB*
#0 0x00ac7433 in pcap_stats () from /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8 #1 0x080513de in libpcap_write_interface_statistics_block (fp=0x805af70, interface_id=0, pd=0x0, bytes_written=0x80572fc, err=0xbfffd2a8) at pcapio.c:472 #2 0x080501c8 in capture_loop_close_output (stats_known=<value optimized out>, stats=<value optimized out>, capture_opts=<value optimized out>) at dumpcap.c:2467 #3 capture_loop_start (stats_known=<value optimized out>, stats=<value optimized out>, capture_opts=<value optimized out>) at dumpcap.c:3127 #4 0x08051224 in main (argc=<value optimized out>, argv=<value optimized out>) at dumpcap.c:3916 And one more important stuff i could figure out is that this segmentation fault occurs only when *wireshark is capturing in PCAPNG forma*t. I c*hanged the capture format to LIBPCAP and it worked fine*. The wireshark wiki tells that the capture file being used with pipe should be in LIBPCAP format and *my capture file is in LIBPCAP* only. Only wireshark capture format is PCAPNG.
