Re: [Ethereal-users] SEGV in 10.6 on Solaris 8

[Bob Evans <bob.evans@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Guy,
Your support on this and other issues to this newbie have been invaluable.
(How do you find the time!).
I had to back up to 10.5, not knowing if any of our customers want to 
look at ASN.1
We, Inet Technologies, integrate Ethereal into our network monitoring 
s/w for select customers.
I was curious if you will post this problem to the Ethereal site.
