This problem is not specific to any particular Wireshark version. To reproduce
the issue open a zip'd or gzip'd capture that has at least 100K uncompressed
and has a compression ratio of 2:1 or better. Mark the first and last frame,
then go to the frame 1 and search forward to the next mark. This It should not
take very long. Then search backward for the next mark. The progress bar will
appear but it might take minutes for anything to happen. In a few cases with
captures that were double the size of the above or more, Wireshark crashed.
I've uploaded a capture to
"ftp://ftp.emc.com/pub4/centera_tools/GNS/compressed.cap.gz"; which is 40MBs
compressed and 146MB uncompressed which can be used for testing.
I don't know if this issue also occurs in Linux and OSX versions.
