Dear experts, I have a problem.

I am using Ethereal since long time but recently Ethereal very often hangs
up. 

The picture is always the following: 
When I - after a short trace  - want to stop the capture, I very often get:

	Warning - KWin
	Window with titel "The Ethereal Network Analyzer" is not responding.
The window belongs to application "Ethereal".
	Do you with to terminatethis application? 
	(All unsaved data in this application will be lost).

I am using SuSE Linux 9.1 and Ethereal 0.10.3-15.9.

Any help highly appreciated.

Kind regards
Franz
