I am experiencing a variation of this zlib problem on OS X.  I first 
posted about the problem in July:

  http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200607/msg00530.html

I never spent too much time on trying to figure it out, although at one 
point I narrowed it down to the code in the wiretap/ directory.

I too have a a second zlib installed by MacPorts (DarwinPorts) in /opt 
and whenever I build from source, I experience the problem.  When I 
deactivate zlib, it works properly.  So this issue isn't limited to 
reading capture files.  The DarwinPorts build of Wireshark doesn't have 
this problem (it specifies --with-zlib=/opt/local when building).
