So, what I found was that I had to remove a number of plug-ins to get it to
 run. I basically did a grep in  the plugin directory looking for GIOP.  BTW, 
the directory is:

/Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/lib/wireshark/plugins

I created a directory called:

/Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/lib/wireshark/oldplugins

and moved the plugins one by one till I now got a new error, that said the
 offending Duplicate Protocol name was "SERCOS III V1.1".  So, grep'ed for
 SERCOS and moved that plugin out and now it runs.

Not sure what functionality I'll lose moving this plugins, but at least it's
 running.  Sure I'll find out what  I'm  missing later :)
