For starters, maybe a backtrace would be nice ? Locate the corefile (usually
in the the current working directory of the process when the crash occurs),
and run "gdb /usr/local/bin/ethereal /somedir/core". When on the gdb prompt,
type "bt".

Post this along with maybe the versions of the libraries (gtk/glib/zlib) you
compiled against, and maybe a description of the action you were performing
when the crash occured. If the crash reproducibly occurs when loading a
specific tracefile, maybe a post of this tracefile would be nice. Try to
keep this as *small* as possible, though, while still getting the crash to
occur. (No megabytes sized tracefiles please ;)



Sincerely,

J.Smith
