--- Comment #31 from Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 2009-12-08 10:51:34 PST ---
Can you try

http://www.wireshark.org/download/prerelease/wireshark-setup-1.0.11-gnutls285-3-31136.exe

I added "gcry_control (GCRYCTL_ENABLE_QUICK_RANDOM, 0);" before GNUTLS is
initialized. In theory this disables the slow entropy gatherer, which is where
the NtQuerySystemInformation call resides. (We _shouldn't_ need strong random
number generation in Wireshark or Tshark, so this should be OK).
