Actually, that bug sounds more like "if a packet has a comment attached to it, Wireshark won't even read the packet data correctly"; the fix doesn't cause Wireshark to process the comment, it just causes it not to screw up if a packet *has* a comment. I.e., we need to fix this before we even consider allowing comments to be added to packets, and should backport the fix to the 1.6 and 1.4 branches (that might still leave older versions of Wireshark incapable of reading pcap-ng files with comments attached to them). ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
