Although the code complied, there was a missing header file. Adding the following resolved the issue.
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H#include "config.h"#endif Thanks as always.Alex Lindberg--- On Fri, 10/22/10, Alex Lindberg <alindber@yahoo.com> wrote:

I have uploaded a patch file and example C and H files to bugzilla that demonstrate the SEG Fault. I sure that I have overlooked something simple.
Bug 5333.
Thanks as always.Alex Lindberg

It is strange. file_gets() is typically #define as gzgets() when
compiled with zlib. The return of gzgets() is the same as fgets()
(which is used when zlib isn't present) - a char *. I noticed that
you're using an unsigned char (guchar), but a test program I made
outside of Wireshark works fine with that too. Want to send a patch of
your changes so we can try it also?
