Hi,
Perhaps the problem is related to "GTK+ 2.6.2, with GLib 2.6.2" which not many may
have tested yet ?
Best regards
Anders

It happens with live capture. Every time. When compiled with zlib-support.
Unless 'Update list of packets in real time' is enabled.
And it only happens when the capture ends, and the application is about
to display the captured packets.
The attached file is a 2-frame capture exhibiting the problem.
