I'd love to but that's a way I use tethereal: I run it as
shown above and filter the output with perl script to get
only things I need - and it runs that way all day. And sometimes
I see that it dumped core - so I check the message and gdb coredump (and
send it to ethereal-dev). Maybe you could add such debug function that 
would save current packet to file (so that would be the last packet
before coredump and I wouldn't have to keep all net traffic on hdd).
