The problem is in the mdshdr dissector of Ethereal version 0.9.9.
You shouldn't get a crash after upgrading to Ethereal 0.9.11.
I have tried your capture.
You can also inactivate "mdshdr" protocol in 0.9.9 in Edit/Protocols...
(you'll find it almost in the bottom of the list of protcols)
each time you start Ethereal.
The packets in your capture isn't really MDS Header /Fiber Channel
packets but Ethereal will try to dissct them as that due to that
the ethertype is 0.
