To quote the Ethereal README file:
How to Report a Bug
-------------------
Ethereal is still under constant development, so it is possible
that you will encounter a bug while using it. Please report
bugs to ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxx. Be sure you tell us:
1) Operating System and version
2) Version of GTK+ (the command 'gtk-config --version' will tell
you)
3) The command you used to invoke Ethereal
If the bug is produced by a particular trace file, please be
sure to send a trace file along with your bug description.
Please don't send a trace file greather than 1 MB when
compressed. If the trace file contains sensitive information
(e.g., passwords), then please do not send it.
If Ethereal died on you with a 'segmentation violation', you can
help the developers a lot if you have a debugger installed. A
stack trace can be obtained by using your debugger ('gdb' in
this example), the ethereal binary, and the resulting core file.
Here's an example of how to use the gdb command 'backtrace' to
do so.
$ gdb ethereal core
(gdb) backtrace
..... prints the stack trace
(gdb) quit
