Howdy, y'all; coupla problems with 0.10.5 on Win98SE laptop (128 MB, 166
MHz; don't laugh, it's just for testing):

A DOS window opens as soon as the program starts, and several messages are
displayed (double quotes are mine):
"...file gtkwindow.c: line 3107 (gtk_window_resize): assertion 'height > 0'
failed"

"...file gtkfilesystem.c: line 652 (gtk_file_system_filename_to_path):
assertion 'filename != NULL' failed"

"...file gtkfilesystem.c: line 323 (gtk_file_system_get_folder): assertion
'path != NULL' failed"

"...file gtkfilechooserdefault.c: line 705 (error dialog): assertion 'path
!= NULL' failed"

"...file gtkfilesystem.c: line 652 (gtk_file_system_filename_to_path):
assertion 'filename != NULL' failed"

The program is closed by Windows with the "ETHEREAL caused an invalid page
fault in module MSVCRT.DLL at 017f:78002a69." Final error dialog is
displayed when I attempt to close a capture file.

Good news is that 0.10.5 runs fine on XPPro, and the D-Link DWL-G650
wireless NIC is now supported.

HTH.
