Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] RE: [Ethereal-users] Segmentation Fault on v0.8.13-1 for Linux

["Wiley, Rob" <WileyR@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For Sh*ts and giggles, I upgraded to the *current* libpcap(0.5.2), tcpdump,
gtk (1.2.8), and glib (1.2.8).    This is what I get now regardless of what
options I have turned on....:

BTW, my windows manager is KDE 1.2.2 on RedHat v6.2
