    8:     1.1.0 KNOWN BUG LIST
    9:  
   10:     - It appears as though getprotobynumber() is broken in some linux
   11:       distributions.  The /etc/protocols file should be of the format:
   12:       protocol name protocol number proctocol symbolic constant comment
   13:       Most of the file (in my redhat 7.1) distro complies with this format
   14:       until you get to the end of the file:
   15:       #       134-254                 # Unassigned  
   16:       #       255                     # Reserved
   17:       This will cause getprotobynumber() and presumably getprotobyname() to
   18:       segfault.  If you get this behavior in your program and you're calling
   19:       __libnet_file_dump(), this could be the reason.  Caveat Emptor.
