For some statistics, entering an invalid filter in the dialog box causes Ethereal to abort. For instance, entering "foo" for HTTP/Load Distribution gives this:

20:35:01 Err stats_tree for: HTTP/Load Distribution failed to attach to the tap: Filter "foo" is invalid - "foo" is neither a field nor a protocol name.
Aborted

This is due to g_error being used in tap-stats_tree.c.

You may file a bugzilla about this, so it won't get lost.
