I had the same thing happen.
print tries to use lpr (by default)
root's path doesn't include lpr
ethereal explodes.

"Print" doesn't necessarily require a printer; you can print to a file
as well.

Either the debugger is broken, or some files weren't compiled with "-g",
or something such as that; unfortunately, this means that we probably
can't get any further information from the debugger.

Did you read a capture file, or did you do a live capture?  If you did a
live capture, the capture file is probably in "/tmp" or "/var/tmp" with
a name beginning with "etherXXXX".  In either case, save a copy of the
capture file, and try running

	tethereal -V -r {the capture file name} >/dev/null

and see if it crashes.

We may need to get a copy of the capture file in order to debug this
further.
