Actually, I just noticed this happens even when it is set to display
"seconds since beginning of capture".  All I do is type in this filter
in the little display filter window at the bottom of the screen:

frame.time_delta > 1.0

and it causes ethereal to core dump and abort, whether there's a capture
file loaded or not.  I thought certain I had gotten that filter to work
once, but now I can't get it to work at all.  Can anyone else reproduce
this?  Here's the specifics of my system, in case that matters:

350Mhz PII
128Mb RAM
RedHat 6.0
KDE 1.1.1
gtk+-1.2.1-10
ethereal 0.7.5 (configured and compiled from source)
packet capture generated by tcpdump -w

Perhaps something happened that has screwed up my installation?
