What's the reaction (the exact error message, ...) when you open such a
file?

I don't know any new bugs in 0.10.11, but as the dissectors involve,
they might introduce new bugs ...

If Ethereal is running out of memory, it will crash with a message like
"could not allocate xxx bytes while", this is due to the underlying
libraries used.
