Hello everybody,

I recently tested Ethereal 0.9.15 and upgraded it to 0.9.16 a couple of days ago.
When I do capturing several thousands of frames, Ethereal utters lots of messages like:

(ethereal.exe:1380): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_text_size: gdk_nmbstowchar_ts failed
(ethereal.exe:1380): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_win32_draw_text: gdk_nmbstowchar_ts failed

in a DOS Window. Closing this window causes Ethereal to terminate.

These messages appear after stopping capturing, while Ethereal is busy with displaying the previously captured frames. Ethereals operation itself seems not to be affected.

I noticed this behaviour since 0.9.15 with a w2k and with an XP client, so I don't think this is related to my windows installation. Any idea, whether this is a problem with the gdk library under Windows?

Thx in advance.

mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
