Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Crashes on OS X 10.5

[Rob Heilman <digger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ever since the upgrade to Leopard/10.5 Wireshark has been fairly 
unstable.  Errors like below seems to happen at random.  I am currently 
running 10.5.1 and installed from ports (more info below)  Is anyone 
else seeing this?  If you have it running stable, did you install 10.5 
as an upgrade from 10.4 or as a clean install?  I completely rebuilt 
ports from scratch and would like to avoid a clean install of the OS if 
possible.  X11 was installed from the Leopard DVD.  I also installed the 
new Xcode as required but don't remember if the 10.5 upgrade deleted the 
previous version or if my install was actually considered upgrading.

Ares:~ rheilman$ wireshark
The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 753345 error_code 8 request_code 152 minor_code 4)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
 that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
 To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
 option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
 backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
