My first guess would be "out of memory".
Although for that I'd expect either
1) "Access violation reading location 0x00000000" (or some other
small value), i.e. a null-pointer dereference from something that did
a malloc() and didn't check whether it succeeded
or
2) an assertion failure message from g_malloc() calling abort() on
failure (I think abort() failures turn up as a unique type of failure
on Windows).
Is there an "etherXXXXXX" file, for some value of "XXXXXX", in your
(Joshua's) temporary file directory? (I forget where Windows hides
the per-user temporary file directory.) If so, does Wireshark crash
if you try to read it?
(Also, what happens with Wireshark 1.0.5, the current version?)
