The reason boiled down to my user account existing on a volume that
has a space in the name i.e. "Users HD/Users/huntc". This causes
Wireshark to fail on startup.

Presumably that wasn't the root volume (so the pathname was /Volumes/ Users HD/Users/huntc rather than just /Users/huntc).

To rectify this problem I modified the following scripts:

1. Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/etc/pango/pangorc

Was that change necessary? That's a Pango configuration file, not a shell script, so it *might* not require ${HOME} to be protected - or it might require that.

If it was necessary, file a bug at

	https://bugs.wireshark.org/

2. Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/bin/wireshark

That's bug 2844:

	https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2844

which should be fixed in the 1.0.5 release.

3. Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/script

File a bug at the Bugzilla site mentioned above, or if you filed a bug for change 1, add this to that bug.
