Hello,

I notice a segmentation fault with latest svn under Linux. It happens only with ethereal-gui, either when live capturing or opening a file. Ethereal crashes immediately. Here is a backtrace. It seems edt shouldn't be NULL.

The only recent commit that modified these files is Ulf Lamping's latest one, but I don't see what it could have broken.

Regards,

I would guess that's a dependency problem, as I've change that enum, could you try a "rebuild all"?
