On Solaris 8 or 9 we get a core dump terminating ethereal 0.9.9/10:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xfec32ea8 in strlen () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1

Here is the gdb stack backtrace of this core dump:

#0  0xfec32ea8 in strlen () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1  0xfec84158 in _doprnt () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1

#7  0x22517c in write_prefs ()
#8  0x27d704 in main ()

Afterwards the file "preferences" is truncated (8192 Bytes).
Here is the output of "tail preferences":

No core dump is produced terminating ethereal if the menu Edit->Preferences was 
opened and closed before.
