I have got the same problem several times on Windows 98 (4.10.1998) during the last days, but never on Windows 2000.
I have used the Conversation functionality quite much on Windows 2000 (both with Ethereal 0.9.15 and nightly-builds), but it was just some
day ago I started to used it on Windows 98 (Ethereal 0.9.15).

I get the problem both after capturing and when I have loaded captures from file. I don't get it always, but quite often when
I close the Conversation window.

There is a message about "page fault in module LIBGTK-0.DLL on address 015f:6dd12559".
Unfortunately I don't have any debugger available on the Windows 98 PC.

The bytes on CS:EIP are 5b 5e c9 c3 57 4d 5f 54 52 41 4e 53 49 45 4e 54  (part of it seems to be a string "WM_TRANSIENT").
