This is the capture that I can hang Wireshark on my machine if I click on a
packet ( I think it is 13, but I am afraid to try it now as I may lose the
whole message I am sending )

I was capturing a transfer to "online-convert.com" to see what a file upload
looked like.  I sent them a 10K or so text file instead of a video file as
"upload file" for them to convert.  I wanted them to simply accept and trash
the file as nonsense, as I just wanted to see how the packets were formed to
upload files via HTTP form=file commands.

Anyway, I succeeded in locking up my system when I tried to view a packet... I
think it was packet#13 on the attached.

I snipped  the error window I got back.  On the computer, it would lock up and
CPU util would go to 100%.  It did not crash Windows itself, but it did require
that I close Wireshark.

This is what I got from Windows:

Attached is the capture I got.  It will hang Wireshark when one of the packets
is viewed.  I think it was packet 13.

Please take a look at it... maybe I did something wrong...I don't wanna rattle
cages over my ignorance over simple misusing of a wonderful tool.
