I am really stucked on this bug.
Facts :
Ethereal 0.10.9 recompiled in the same environment in x86_64 mode is OK
(bug doesn't show up)
Ethereal 0.10.10 RPMs for i386 (Fedora Core 3) mode are OK (bug doesn't
show up)
=> bug is specific to the x86_64 version of 0.10.10 release.
Bug does occur only when doing synchronous capture.
Bug occurs wether autoscrolling is set or not.
Memory corruption seems to occur on this line :
menu.c : 863 if ((menu_item =
gtk_item_factory_get_widget(ifactory, dup)) != NULL) {
of
set_menu_sensitivity (ifactory=0xb88d30, path=0xb5a8a3 "", val=1) at
menu.c:863
ifactory seems to be OK.
dup = "/Statistics/Service Response Time/Fibre Channel..."
before the execution of the line backtrace shows :

Now I need hints to go further....
