We are using wireshark-1.4.1(32 bit) to develop our custom  dissectors. 

There are options to set preferences for our Dissectors.While Testing its
observed that wireshark crashes  at certain times when the preferences are
applied. (Apply preferences when the pcap is open and all the Tree's Expanded)


For Example , to get the crash 

 1. Start Wireshak
 2. Open the TCP packet
 3. Expand all the Tree's
 4. Set/Unset the Preferences for TCP
                Edit->Preferences->TCP->Validate the TCP Check Sum , if
Possible.

With all the tree expanded , setting /unsetting preference options eventually
crashes wireshark on Linux (non systematic). It doesnt crash on a Windows .


The Wireshark crashes  at g_slice_alloc from /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

We have noticed the same behavior for other checkbox options for UDP CRC
Validation, IP Validation of CRC. etc.

Its mentioned as fixed, if it is, Please clarify in which version the fix has
given?
