The preferred way is to create a bug report at http://bugs.ethereal.com/
and attach a capture file that causes the segmentation fault.  You can
mark the bug and/or attachment as "private" if it contains sensitive
information.  Along with helping us to find and fix the bug, this lets
us use your capture for regression testing.  Alternatively, the
backtrace output of a debugger (e.g. "bt" or "bt full" under gdb) is
sometimes (but not always) helpful.  If you don't feel like messing with
Bugzilla you can send the capture file and/or backtrace to ethereal-dev.

I've added a page to the wiki (http://wiki.ethereal.com/ReportingBugs)
with more detailed information.
