This is because it does not correctly handle packets which have a large dgm-length (while the actual data sent is not that size). I have tried to contact the author of the software and the software's freebsd-ports maintainer and have received no response. >How-To-Repeat: Get tcpflow to process data comm. b/w a Windows box and some other computer. tcpflow will add junk to the end of the recorded tcp stream file. >Fix: it's a simple one-line patch, and is available on request. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
