Let's try following. Move the files containing the Personal 
configuration of your Ethereal to a different directory, so Ethereal 
0.10.6 doesn't find these files and starts with default values. Don't 
just remove these files, you probably want to restore them later and 
we'd like to have a look at them if ethereal 0.10.6 doesn't crash 
anymore.

To find the directory with these files, start Ethereal 0.10.5, click on 
"Help->About Ethereal". At "Folders" look at "Personal configuration".
Typical files are "preferences", "dfilter", ...

Could send these files to the list please, if Ethereal 0.10.6 doesn't 
crash without your personal configuration. They will help us to debug 
this problem.

Lars
