Hi,
bcp is registered by the PPP dissector, for PPP bridge control protocol. So what might cause this is a stray plugin which still loiters in your system. Either as system wide plugin or personal plugin. Have a good look in /usr/lib/wireshark/ and ~/.wireshark/ or whatever this installation directries on your system are. 

Thanx,
Jaap

I've got a problem with a machine running Wireshark 0.99.5.
I get the following error:

13:16:28          Err  Duplicate protocol filter_name "bcp"! This might
be caused by an inappropriate plugin or a development error.
/usr/local/bin/wireshark[6]: 21481 Abort(coredump)
Tshark will core as well. 
The big problem is, I compiled Wireshark and made it a package out of
it. It runs fine on many other machines. 
I saw some issues that were similar, with a fix of removing a file from
the plugins directory, but there isn't a bcp file in plugins.
This is Solaris 10. 
Oh, an old ethereal comes up fine on this machine.
