There sure is.  It causes it not to work on Win32 platforms, including
NT/2000 and 95/98(and presumably ME).

I've checked in a fix, so it should be fixed in the next release.  (No,
I don't know when the next release will come out.)

For those who have a compiler that can be used to compile Ethereal
(Microsoft Visual C++ works; I don't know if anybody's tried GCC under
CygWin) and are willing to grab the current source from CVS or grab one
of the nightly tarballs and compile it, I've attached a patch to
"gtk/main.c" that contains the fix.
