Re: problem in pseudo header

seek_read() function has
   wtap* wth and union wtap_pseudo_header* pseudo_header
as arguments.

Make sure that in seek_read you are setting

pseudo_header.dec_hdr->step
and not
wtap->pseudo_header.dec_hdr->step

>From your mail, it looks like you are setting in the wtap->pseudo_header.

thanks,
Ravi.
