Overview: Wireshark crashes during opening/loading a capture-file if the info
column is deleted via Preferences/other Profile.

------

Detailed Description:
Wireshark on computer with AirPcap (where trace was taken)
Version 1.0.3 (SVN Rev 26134)
Problem:
When loading/opening *-pcap file
- with default preferences: ok, tracefile completely loadable
- with more columns but WITHOUT Info column: Freeze when loading capture file.
Wireshark Debug Console: Err  file column-utils.c: line 542: assertion failed:
(cinfo->
col_first[el] >= 0)
---
Wireshark dev.Version 1.1.0 (SVN Rev 26170)
Problem:
When loading/opening same *-pcap file, Wireshark crashes.
Description:
Window appears, Windowname: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library"
Error message: "Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Wireshark110\wireshark.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."
---
Wireshark Version 0.99.6a (SVN Rev 22276):
Problem:
When loading/opening same *-pcap file, Wireshark crashes.
Wireshark Debug Console:
10:01:11          Err  file column-utils.c: line 472: assertion failed:
(cinfo->
col_first[el] >= 0)

------

This problem occurs with some (about 20-30%) of my 802.11n capture files taken
of Iperf UDP traffic, captured with AirPcapN and Wireshark.

This error is 100% reproducible with the concerned file(s). On all listed
Versions of Wireshark.
