Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 5421] Wireshark crashes with Copy -> Description on date/t
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5421
--- Comment #2 from Bill Meier <wmeier@xxxxxxxxxxx> 2010-11-30 20:50:26 EST ---
Fixed in SVN #35086 (I believe).
The issue: The "timezone name" Wireshark obtained from the Windows C Runtime
was encoded using the "system ansi code page" which for the Japanese version of
Windows XP is presumably an MBCS character set.
The fix: convert the timezone name to UTF8 before use.
(I expect that in your case the timezone name will now show in Japanese
characters. Showing the timezone name in English no matter what the language of
the system is not something I know how to do (or even if it's realistically
possible)).
I'm not sure but I expect the crash was caused (in the GDK library) when an
attempt was made to copy a string containing non-UTF8 to the clipboard.
It would be appreciated if you would test and verify the fix on your system
using a development Windows Wireshark with an SVN version #35086 or greater
which should be available in a few hours.

Thanks for the report !
Fixing the bug was a good learning experience.
