Thanks. Yes, this addressed my issues.

Every issue identified by your team exists in 3.4.4 code. I took over the 
maintenance of Tcpreplay starting at 4.0.0, and inherited these issues.

I agree that these issues are not serious. They are mostly brought on by 
invalid PCAP files, and I have not seen any that send uninitialized memory over 
the wire.

I plan to get the 4.3 release out in before  Nov 18. In the mean time, I’ll 
release one or two more betas so that my fixes can soak a little.

Regards, Fred.
