Greetings:

I figured I would run this by the list before filing a bug in case I was
missing something :)

Version of wireshark: Version 1.2.0pre2 (SVN Rev 28667), running on
Windows XP, SP3

rpcapd from is from:
http://www.pawelko.net/linux/17-Rpcapd-For-Linux-Remote-Sniffing-With-Etherealwireshark

rpcapd running on an ethernet switch: Arista DCS-7148S:
http://www.aristanetworks.com/en/7100_Series_SFPSwitches

The switch runs linux (2.6.29.1) and has 48 10G interfaces plus a couple
of management interfaces.  ifconfig -a lists 52 interfaces.

When Wireshark attempts to get the interface list from the remote host,
it crashes.

Thank you.
