Hi

I am familiarizing myself with ethereal, so I naturally tried it out on the sample files.
Version 0.8.3 barfs on the IMAP sample file ("The capture file appears to be 
damaged or corrupt") after the eigth frame. 

The Win32 ethereal-20000209 snapshot refuses to load all files 
This happens with most of the files (f.i. IMAP):
GLib-CRITICAL **: file ghash.c: line 138 (g_hash_table_lookup): assertion `hash_
table != NULL' failed.

GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmem.c: line 575 (g_mem_chunk_alloc): assertion `mem_chun
k != NULL' failed.

Here I have to close the app myself.

But some (ipv6-ripng) also fail on an assertion for the hf structure in proto.c
** ERROR **: file U:/ethereal/src/proto.c: line 224: assertion failed: (hfindex
>= 0 && hfindex < gpa_hfinfo->len)
aborting...

And here it closes all by itself.
