> Ethereal crashes

I assume by "crashes" you mean "produces a core dump"; if so, please get
us a stack trace, as per the "How to Report a Bug" section of the
Ethereal README file:

	If Ethereal died on you with a 'segmentation violation', 'bus
	error', 'abort', or other error that produces a UNIX core dump
	file, you can help the developers a lot if you have a debugger
	installed.  A stack trace can be obtained by using your debugger
	('gdb' in this example), the ethereal binary, and the resulting
	core file.  Here's an example of how to use the gdb command
	'backtrace' to do so.

	$ gdb ethereal core
	(gdb) backtrace
	..... prints the stack trace
	(gdb) quit
	$
