If you don't already have GDB installed, install it.

Then check whether there's a file "core" in the current directory (there
should be).

If so, then find the pathname of the Ethereal binary (i.e., where it was
installed), and do

	gdb {pathname of Ethereal} core

and then, when GDB prints its "(gdb)" prompt, type "backtrace", and mail
to "ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx" the output it prints.
