I get the same crash when I put the old H.323-plugin in the plugin directory of Ethereal 0.9.14.

I think that the problem is due to that version Ethereal 0.9.14 includes a H.245 dissector already,
so the H.323-plugin would need to be modified in order to be able to run with Ethereal 0.9.14.

With the next version of Ethereal there should not be any need for the H.323-plugin (hopefully) since both H.245 and
H.225 will be built in, thanks to Ronnie Sahlberg.

If you have possibilities to build Ethereal yourself you can try it out already since the H.225 dissector has been checked in some days 
ago. It's not fully tested yet, but the more people that test it the better it will probably be...
