This is likely from a bug in GTK+ version 1.2.3 through 1.2.6.
You can patch your GTK+ installation. See:

http://ethereal.zing.org/lists/ethereal-dev/199912/msg00312.html and
http://www.gnome.org/mailing-lists/archives/gtk-devel-list/1999-October/0051.shtml

Or, you can wait until Ethereal 0.8.2 is released (probably tonight), in
which we have a workaround for that GTK+ bug.
