Yup, I changed Ethereal to let you print packets when in the middle of
an "Update list of packets in real time" capture, and if you try to do
that, it crashes in that fashion.  I've checked in the change to allow
you to print packets, and I'll test my fix to keep that from blowing up
and check that in if it works.
