That's odd - that filter expression worked (in the sense that it didn't
get an error message) when I tried it just now, with Ethereal 0.8.19 on
Windows 2000.

What appeared after "Unable to parse filter string" in the error message
window?  There should be an error message in parentheses after it, e.g.
"Unable to parse filter string (parse error)".
