Got it!

This is a bug, I introduced some days ago, when changing the color preferences dialog. One of the global vars was too short, to handle the additional color settings.

Checked in a fix for this, now it should work on all platforms again.

Compiler issue? (That could either mean compiler bug *or* Ethereal bug that happens to show up only with some compilers, as other compilers generate code that happens not to trigger the bug.) The non-crashing version I have was built with GCC 3.3; if "compiled with Cygwin" implies "compiled with GCC", and Ulf is using MSVC++, this might be a compiler issue.


This seems to be a thing, introduce some days ago?

I will download some older versions, and try to find a date where this bug doesn't occur.
