Additionally there is a problem with g_error calls in the hot area.

As I'm making good progress with dumpcap, we might not have a "hot area"
in the next days any longer :-)

On win32 the error message isn't displayed and ethereal terminates
immediately without giving any useful information.

This happens for example in proto_register_protocol() in proto.c:3245.

IMO we should have a log handler for such terminating events, which
makes sure that the console with the error message is displayed before
ethereal is closed.


The log handler itself exists for a long time.

I've added two things in this case:

- open a console regardless of the user settings (if it's not already open)
- wait for a key press before actually terminating

This should solve the problem.



I had to do an additional change to make it work. See revision 17248.
Can you verify that this change doesn't interfere with anything else, especially the capture stuff?

Lars
