You shouldn't put anything to stdout in the main function until capture_loop_start() is called (main.c lines 1857-2638, including all subfunctions called)!



Additionally there is a problem with g_error calls in the hot area. On win32 the error message isn't displayed and ethereal terminates immediately without giving any useful information.

This happens for example in proto_register_protocol() in proto.c:3245.

IMO we should have a log handler for such terminating events, which makes sure that the console with the error message is displayed before ethereal is closed.
