Latest nightly snapshot produces this assertion in 
GTK+ 2.2 on Windows:

** (ethereal.exe:1328): CRITICAL **: file fonts.c: line 824 (pango_font_description_from_string): 
assertion `str != NULL' failed

And a crash after that (reported by DrMingW):

ethereal.exe caused an Access Violation at location 01793a6b in module libpango-1.0-0.dll 
Reading from location 00000000.

I haven't the faintest idea what's going on.
