If it does, +please check that the problem reproduces with the current git master branch of +libpcap. If it does (and it is not a security-related problem, otherwise see +above), please navigate to https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/issues +and check if the problem has already been reported. If it has not, please open +a new issue and provide the following details: + +* libpcap version (e.g. from tcpdump --version) +* operating system name and version and any other details that may be relevant + (uname -a, compiler name and version, CPU type etc.) +* configure flags if any were used +* statement of the problem +* steps to reproduce + +Please note that if you know exactly how to solve the problem and the solution +would not be too intrusive, it would be best to contribute some development time +and open a pull request instead. + +Still not sure how to do? Feel free to [subscribe](https://www.tcpdump.org/#mailing-lists) +to the mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org and ask! |
