This isn't critical for us, and I haven't been able to reproduce it by running tshark standalone, and its an old tshark version... but I thought I'd report this in case anybody knows what's going on.
We run tshark from inside a python/twisted exe, that's running as root. If I run from the command line, then ctrl-C/SIGINT, tshark crashes, every time. I don't think it crashes with my local build from svn. Anyhow, this is what we get: 2009/06/19 16:55 -0700 [-] Received SIGINT, shutting down. *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/tshark: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000000e0b2f0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0x2b7f3317fb0a] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x8c)[0x2b7f331836fc] /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8(pcap_close_common+0x15)[0x2b7f31b11005] /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8[0x2b7f31b0f3e7] /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8(pcap_close+0xa)[0x2b7f31b10dca] /usr/bin/tshark[0x41d62f] /usr/bin/tshark(main+0x126a)[0x41ec9a] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x2b7f3312bb44] /usr/bin/tshark(register_all_protocol_handoffs+0x901)[0x409dd9] TShark 0.99.6 Copyright 1998-2007 Gerald Combs <[email protected]> and contributors.
