I would think that the temporary file that ethereal uses to store
the capture would still be on disk. You'd have to check wherever your
temp files are usually stored. (%TEMP% ? )

Another approach is to use tetehreal to capture a very large file:

tethereal -w out.cap

or limit it with:

tethereal -w out.cap -c num_packets

then load it in ethereal (or tethereal) to see if ethereal crashes.
