Bug#523351: libnet-rawip-perl: Using pcapinit causes segfault

[Michael Howe]

Package: libnet-rawip-perl
Version: 0.23-2+b1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Trying to use the pcapinit funcion of Net::RawIP causes a segfault.
This can be easily demonstrated on the command line:

sudo perl -MNet::RawIP=:pcap -e '$n = new Net::RawIP; $n->pcapinit("eth0", "dst port 68", 1500, 500)'

I've reproduced this on both amd64 and i386 systems.

Running 'perldoc Net::RawIP' suggests that this _should_ work, hence
this bug report.

Cheers,

Michael
