I *think* the problem might be that the removal of a tap doesn't cause 
ethereal-tap-register.c to be rebuilt - I think that

	1) re-running autogen.sh;

	2) reconfiguring;

	3) removing gtk/ethereal-tap-register.c;

	4) rebuilding;

fixed it for me.

There's no MAINTAINERCLEANFILES in gtk/Makefile.am, so "make 
maintainer-clean" won't remove gtk/ethereal-tap-register.c.  I'll look 
at adding the various "*register.c" files to MAINTAINERCLEANFILES in 
various Makefile.am files.
