For some reason, when I'm launching Wireshark (both 1.1.2 and SVN 27315, on XP, SP3), after it is done with all the dissector loading stuff, the UI disappears - and does not appear. The process is still alive, with one thread, not doing much. Process Explorer of it:
... <some low level Windows stuff>

MSVCR90.dll!wstat64i32+0xb6
libwsutil.dll!ws_stdio_stat+0xbc

Any ideas? If there's a PDB for the SVN build, I can perhaps get a better stack.
