The original (opencsw) user's report is much cooler than the one reported here:

I particularly like the "fontELF not found" bit: it looks like on that system
reading memory location 0 gives you the first byte of the (or "an") ELF
program. Neat :-).
Also interesting is the main.c assertion: that means that prefs.gui_layout_type
isn't any of the valid values (1-6).
Me thinks that someone is clobbering all or part of prefs structure someplace
between when the prefs are set when when they're used. If you have access to a
core file can you print out the contents of that structure (you should be able
to access it from the frame that has font_init())?
Another question: when this happens do you have a ~/.wireshark/preferences
file?
