Was playing with dumping packet contents to screen with pyogp when I found errors. Since we'd been testing with limited numbers of packets it only showed up after we started looking at larger numbers: packets would be coming in with no valid ID. E.G., byte 6 was NOT oxff. This showed up with the pyogp library and with the normal OGP GPL viewer, when examing incoming packets using tcpdump. Examples: time = 2008-10-20 10:43:43.912675 Counter = 29(<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>, AttributeError("'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'",)) packet == None, and msg_buf is:
