I have the following problem with Seg faults in Ethereal.  After I stop captures, ethereal loads the packets and promptly seg faults to a core dump before displaying them.  This seems to happen immediately after the "loading" dialog closes.

Vital information.

Redhat Linux 7.0 and latest updated packages

etheral 0.8.15-1.i386.rpm

ethereal 0.8.15, with GTK+ 1.2.8, with libpcap 0.4, with libz 1.1.3, with UCD
SNMP 4.1.2

glibc-2.2-12

Attached is a a stack trace produced from the core dump.

Thank you.  I hope we can get this fixed.  I rely heavily on ethereal in my job.
