Re: Packet Size limited during capture message

I will have to look into why my dissector is crashing when I get the 
Packet Size Limited during capture message.

I am an employee of Dark Corner Software. I am writing the dissector for 
our clients that use our software.

I have fixed the license issue. Attached is the latest updated file that 
I am still working on.

We have open source software and closed source software. I am trying to 
get the open source dissector submitted through wireshark so it can 
become a part of the wireshark distribution (this is the attached copy).

Our closed source software is for our customers only. I have written a 
dissector for our closed source software for the client. This is where I 
am getting the "Packet Size limited during capture " message from.

Thanks,
Brian
