Hi,

This comes from a problem dealing with traces in which, as is your case, a packet has a 
timestamp that is lower than a previous one, so Ethereal thinks that there is an infinite 
amount of time between them. It should be corrected for the next release, probably 0.10.8.

You might want to have a look at your temp directory -probably under 
\Documents and settings\<user>\Local Settings\temp- , where you might have some potentially
big files Ethereal was writing while it seemed hung.

Regards,

  Francisco
