Non-bogus, but also not very useful, as, for some unknown reason, GDB
couldn't find any of the symbols in the debugger; perhaps the Ethereal
image doesn't have any debugger symbols in it.  (If it's installed from
an RPM, the RPM might have had the debugger symbols stripped.)

This *might* be the result of those weird problems that other person saw
on another Linux system; I'll dig up what he did to clear the problem up
- you'd probably end up having to rebuild Ethereal from source in any
case, and, if you do that, it should, by default, have the debugger
symbols, so you might try downloading the Ethereal source from

	http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/ethereal-0.8.15.tar.gz

unpacking it, and building it, and trying that version of Ethereal.
