I was able to reproduce this on my dev machine. For some reason
main_window_update() is looping forever on a NULL event (or events).  You can
jump to the debugger when this happens by changing main_window_event() to

----
void main_window_update(void)
{
    while (gtk_events_pending()) {
        if (!gtk_get_current_event()) DebugBreak();
        gtk_main_iteration();
    }
}
----

Disabling main_window_update() in capture_input_new_packets() seems to fix the
problem. I checked in a change to do this in r44283. If someone else affected
by the problem can try an installer when it shows up at
http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/ and verify that it works for them
I'll schedule it for backporting to 1.8 and 1.6.
