There should be a file "ethereal.core" somewhere after a FreeBSD 
Ethereal crash (in the current directory if you started it from the 
command line, and probably in your home directory if you started it 
from a GUI).  If so, try running GDB on the Ethereal binary and the 
core dump, and running the command "backtrace"; send us the output from 
that command.

(If you can send us the offending capture, that'd be even better.  If 
it crashes after you stop a capture, the capture file will, on FreeBSD, 
probably be in "/var/tmp" and, on Windows XP, probably be either in 
C:\TEMP or in some directory under your "Documents and Settings" 
directory; it'll have a name beginning with "ether".)
