Description Tom Wood 2004-06-18 13:19:22 EDT

Description of problem: ethereal-0.10.3-2.2, as did some earlier
versions, after running for a while, goes into a sleep state, does not
update the displays, and can't be coaxed out of sleep.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ethereal-0.10.3-2.2


How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start ethereal from a command line.
2. Start a capture.
3. Watch display after a while lock up and never change.
4. Kill ethereal-associated windows by clicking on the X.
5. Observe that the window from which you started ethereal doesn't
return a command prompt until you press <ctrl>-c.

  
Actual results: ethereal goes to sleep (S state in ps)


Expected results: ethereal keeps capturing packets

I've tried it with the current version of the development tree and
couldn't reproduce the problem after half an hour and several capture
tests/runs.

Read ya, Phil

I'm currently seeing this on FC3 (both test2 and test3). The current
version I'm running is ethereal-0.10.6-3. I've not yet ethereal work
on FC3.
