I'm having it with any packet I try to put on "do not decode". So I
guess something is going horribly wrong in my setup, here's a
stacktrace anyway:

Now I didn't compile ethereal with debug in it, I probably better
should? It will take some time... For now I am going to reinstall
ethereal as I recently change glibc, that might make a difference.
I'll report again when I have finished recompiling.
