Not sure if this is related, but I happened to run Valgrind on a trunk (1.7)
build today and was shocked at the pages of uninitialized-variable warnings
coming out of the Python code, including:
==12413== Use of uninitialised value of size 8
==12413== at 0x31B7A73644: PyObject_Free (in /usr/lib64/libpython2.5.so.1.0)

Not sure if this is a Wireshark or Python problem.
