In my case it turned out to be a private dissector with a change that I had
forgotten that I hadn't tested.  Annoyingly, I had to step/binary-chop in
the debugger with breakpoints until I could step in to the crash itself
(which was in the proto_register_...() for that dissector.  There was an
odd crash (something to do with interfaces) after fixing this, which went
away after I restored the preferences, etc files.  I have since tried
hiding the files again but can't seem to get back to that crash.
