Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Crash in latest svn: tethereal colinfo protocolinfo_init() sigsev

I was testing from the latest svn, and I end up getting a segmentation violation anytime I try to use tethereal with the -z "proto,colinfo,$var,$var" line.
In this case I just run
tethereal -r TRACEfile -z "proto,colinfo,dcerpc.time,dcerpc.time"


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
