Hmmm, this sounds like a known problem, maybe one that was fixed 
already.  Are you using the latest release (0.99.3 or one of the 0.99.4 
pre-releases)?

I'd check the bug database (http://bugs.wireshark.com) but the hostname 
isn't resolving for me at the moment (we'll see if this email makes it 
or not)...
