Hadriel:

It just so happens that I'm in the midst of changing various fprintf's in
dissectors to 'report_failure()' ("dissectors shouldn't output directly to a
terminal)" so this issue might also apply to me.

I would have expected the gtk report_failure() to not return until the alert
box was dismissed. (The gtk code: gtk/simple_dialog.c:do_simple_message_box()).

I'll have to do some digging/testing ...
