Although for that I'd expect either

        1) "Access violation reading location 0x00000000" (or some other  
small value), i.e. a null-pointer dereference from something that did  
a malloc() and didn't check whether it succeeded

or

        2) an assertion failure message from g_malloc() calling abort() on  
failure (I think abort() failures turn up as a unique type of failure  
on Windows).

Is there an "etherXXXXXX" file, for some value of "XXXXXX", in your  
(Joshua's) temporary file directory?  (I forget where Windows hides  
the per-user temporary file directory.)  If so, does Wireshark crash  
if you try to read it?

(Also, what happens with Wireshark 1.0.5, the current version?)
