No need to uncompress; ethereal will read teh compressed file, too,
if compiled with the zlib library, as your version is:

Can you produce a stack backtrace, as described in the README.
This will show us  who called proto_tree_add_string(). It's
likely that the problem *is* fixed already, but your stack backtrace
will help us confirm that.
