It's not.

This might be a libtool issue.

Unfortunately, Ethereal doesn't use libtool APIs for loading plugins, it
uses GLib APIs (Gilbert, do you remember what the problem was with the
libtool stuff that caused us to switch to the GLib stuff?), and those
don't support the MacOS X dynamic loading mechanism.

The good news is that means you don't lose anything by disabling
plugins.  Doing so will *probably* make this problem go away; try
reconfiguring with

	--without-plugins
