You must initialize libwiretap before you use it. Call wtap_init(TRUE); first. Note also that the libwiretap API is subject to change, so don't rely on it not changing out from under you in future Wireshark releases.
It does work, but only with wtap_init(FALSE). In case of TRUE it fails again, this time with this bt: #0 0x0000000000000000 in ??

Is it implemented? Regards, -- Martin Sehnoutka | Associate Software Engineer PGP: 5FD64AF5 UTC+1 (CET) RED HAT | TRIED. TESTED. TRUSTED.
