Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Crash in gtk/conversations_table.c

While clicking inside the "Statistics | Conversations" window (blank window btw)
and pressing the "Follow stream" button, I got a crash. From WinDbg (my JIT debugger):

wireshark!follow_stream_cb(struct _GtkWidget * follow_stream_bt = 0x63a57e95, void * data = 0x046533f0)+0x1c
WARNING: Stack unwind information not available. Following frames may be wrong.

..

The offender:

follow_stream_cb(GtkWidget *follow_stream_bt, gpointer data _U_)
{
   conversations_table *ct = g_object_get_data (G_OBJECT(follow_stream_bt), CONV_PTR_KEY);
   GtkTreeIter iter;
   GtkTreeModel *model;
   GtkTreeSelection  *sel;
   guint32 idx = 0;
   gchar *filter;
   conv_t *conv;

   sel = gtk_tree_view_get_selection (GTK_TREE_VIEW(ct->table));

It crashed because 'ct' is NULL. Why, I don't know, but maybe we should
bail out if 'ct' is NULL:

All this was while watching AirPcap traffic ... i.e. no streams.
