Title: Ethereal 0.10.x crashes on Windows XP SP1

If I attempt an extended trace of network traffic, irregardless of whether I am logging to a file or not, the program crashes and pops up a display windows with 20-30 of the following error messages:

(ethereal.exe:2884): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-win32.c:1591: BitBlt failed: The handle is invalid.

(ethereal.exe:2884): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-win32.c:1591: BitBlt failed: The handle is invalid.

(ethereal.exe:2884): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-win32.c:1591: BitBlt failed: The handle is invalid.

(ethereal.exe:2884): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-win32.c:1591: BitBlt failed: The handle is invalid.

This has occurred with v0.10.2, v0.10.4, and v0.10.5 but does not happen with 0.9.14, obviously because a different UI is being employed.
