Well, I never see that particular behavior so I don't know why it's
happening.

You might try sending the Ethereal process, on Linux, a SIGABRT with
"kill -ABRT" and, if it writes out a core dump file, starting up gdb on
the Ethereal binary and the core dump file, type the "backtrace"
command, and send us the output, so we have a clue what it's doing.
