The problem exists here from 0.10.5 through the current 0.10.6+ SVN.

$ ./ethereal -v
ethereal 0.10.6 (SVN 20040906134316)
Compiled with GTK+ 1.2.10, with GLib 1.2.10, with libpcap 0.8.3,
with libz 1.1.3, without libpcre, with UCD-SNMP 4.2.6, without ADNS.
NOTE: this build does not support the "matches" operator for Ethereal filter
syntax.

Running with libpcap version 0.8.3 on SunOS 5.8.

Between 0.10.4 and 0.10.5 numerous GUI changes were made.
One of the changes caused the following sequence
    File -> Save As -> specify output file -> OK
to terminate ethereal.  No core dump though.

Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
 serial 9267 error_code 3 request_code 15 minor_code 0

This was with GTK1, GTK2 also terminates.


Undoing one of the changes in file_dlg.c

void
file_save_as_destroy(void)
{
 if (file_save_as_w)
/*    window_destroy(file_save_as_w);  change introduced in 0.10.5 */
     gtk_widget_destroy(file_save_as_w);  /* Code from 0.10.4*/
}

makes the problem go away.   This is guesswork, likely not a correct fix.

Did you checked 0.10.6?

I've tried both GTK1 and 2 and both were working ok.
