Hi,

I hope this is of use to anyone:

A network capture taken and saved with ethereal 0.9.6 under Windows
crashes ethereal (0.9.5 and 0.9.6 tested under Linux and Windows)
when scrolling through the packets. For instance, setting a display
filter of "ip.addr == 10.0.1.53" end pressing enter will trigger 
the bug.
(the trigger must be somewhere between packet 1500 and 3000, I think)

This is the error I am getting:

** ERROR **: file proto.c: line 1216 (proto_tree_add_string): assertion
failed: (hfinfo->type == FT_STRING)
aborting...

I have put the network capture online:
