The patch includes:

	a patch to "dfilter.c" that is currently in the CVS tree
	(Gilbert checked that one in as a fix to the problem you
	reported earlier);

	a patch to "file.c" that causes it to exit if the search through
	the list of packets for a packet that's on a given row in the
	display doesn't find the packet;

	the changes to the color stuff.

What's the situation in which the patch to "file.c" fixes a SEGV? 
Perhaps there's an underlying bug wherein a bogus row number is being
passed to "select_packet()".
