Still looking for the bug.

Facts :
Ethereal 0.10.9 recompiled in the same environment in x86_64 mode is OK (bug doesn't show up)
Ethereal 0.10.10 RPMs for i386 (Fedora Core 3) mode are OK (bug doesn't show up) 

=> bug is specific to the x86_64 version of 0.10.10 realease.

Bug does occur only when doing synchronous capture.



Gnu debugger analysis :
Bug seems to occur when ethereal rebuilds the graphical interface, probably in the menu rebuilding process (gtk/menu.c), seemingly in walk_menu_tree_for_selected_tree_row recursive calls. 

During this process, it seems that the stack is overwriten 3/5 layers up.
Regular backtrace seem to show that it occurs when creating the menu "/Statistics/Service Response Time/ONC-RPC...." 

This part is quite difficult to understand with the debugger.

I need help.

Thank you
