Hi,

I am using the latest Ethereal snapshot from CVS, and am encountering
a problem.  If I enable "Update list of packets in real time", things
coredump. 
My configuration is:
ethereal -v
ethereal 0.8.4, with GTK+ 1.2.6, with libpcap 0.4, with libz 1.1.3,
with UCD SNMP 4.0.1                                            

The backtrace I get is:

Any ideas?
