The partial list in my previous message said:
scan-build, running the Clang static analyzer;
cov-build, building to prepare to hand Wireshark off to Coverity;
fuzz-menagerie, repeatedly running fuzzed capture files through TShark to make sure it doesn't crash.
There's also a phase in which it runs capture files with random data ("random" in the sense of "generated by a pseudo-random number generator") through TShark as well.

Unlikely, given that it's testing TShark, not Wireshark, with the fuzzed captures. See tools/fuzz-test.sh.

Nope. It really does run them through TShark; where has the buildbot filed a bug in which *Wireshark* crashed?

No, it doesn't test any of the Wireshark GUI.

Perhaps:
1) for some unknown reason, it crashes on Ubuntu (64-bit x86) but not OS X (64-bit x86 in your case, as you are, as I remember, running a recent OS X version);
2) you have different preferences set (I think the buildbot has an empty set of preferences, so the defaults are used);
3) perhaps, for some reason, it crashes in TShark but doesn't crash in Wireshark - for example, if you don't have any color filters set and don't have a display filter, the path where it reads in the capture doesn't generate a protocol tree, but I think the TShark test generates a protocol tree.

That might be a separate bug.
