Subject: Memory corruption when using Net::Pcap::compile (perl 5.8.5)
Net-Pcap-0.05 FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p2 This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-freebsd-64int Random coredumps due to memory corruption. The script runs ok without compiling a filter. I have no experience in programming XS, but the following line looks suspicious to me: struct bpf_program *real_fp = safemalloc(sizeof(fp));

Do you still have this problem? If yes, then could you provide a example script that exposes the problem? Show quoted text

I need to check the libpcap docs, but at first glance, I'd say it's fine. Why do you find it suspicious? -- Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
