OK, this is really bizarre. (or maybe it's just a wierd windows thing...) I didn't see anything on stdout because I associated the file extension ".tcp" with ethereal (specifically, "C:\Program Files\Ethereal\ethereal.exe" "%1"). So I tried running ethereal from a command line, and then loading a capture file. The problem didn't happen. I tried running `"C:\Program Files\Ethereal\ethereal.exe" "capturefile.tcp"` from a command line. The problem didn't happen. If I double-click on a .tcp file, it happens reliably, if I run `start capturefile.tcp` it happens (and I get nothing on stdout), if I run `start "c:\program files\ethereal\ethereal.exe" "capturefile.tcp"`, it happens, and I get nothing to stdout.
I've never done much debugging of stuff under windows (I think I know why now...) I don't even know how to figure out what might be happening. (perhaps it's crashing specifically *becuase* there isn't a stdout to write to?) Or maybe it's just a piece of wierd windows magic that isn't working. So, anyone have any pointers as to what I might be able to do to wrangle *some* sort of information out of windows? (but at least I think I have a reproducible problem....) -Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Schorr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: Joe Patterson > Subject: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Lack of close button on Conversation windows > > > I don't experience this problem with the 0.9.15 Win32 build from the > Ethereal site in Windows 2000, nor with a CVS build from about a week > ago.
