In wireshark-win32-1.1.4-SVN-28287.exe or earlier I can capture data even though I have either IP=0.0.0.0 or IP=169.254.xx.xx. Yes, I can even continue my capturing through a release and renew.

But when I install wireshark-win32-1.3.0-SVN-28672.exe or later or even wireshark-win32-1.3.0-SVN-28735.exe, wireshark crashs upon startup but only if I have either IP=0.0.0.0 or IP=169.254.xx.xx.
 
The easy way to cause the crash is:
ipconfig /release
 
Then start wireshark.
 
Yes, I often use wireshark when I have either IP=0.0.0.0 or IP=169.254.xx.xx.

Thanks for your Time!
