Description:

Description of Problem:

Many trace files are unusable in the Windows version (and others - to be checked),
whenever hex 1A appears in the file (for example, for a packet length of 794 bytes = 03 1A .  The 1Ah is interpreted as an end-of file.



How Easily Reproducible:
(e.g. every time, intermittent, once only, etc.)

every time

Steps to Reproduce:

Here is a hex dump of a problematic trace file fragment with four packets. Packets 0 and 1 are output, 2 and 3 are not, since the third packet's length contains the 1Ah EOF byte: (if the byte is changed to another value, e.g. 1Bh, then all is OK)
