Wireshark causes a core dump when decoding SSL-encrypted traffic when debugging
is enabled.  The following options were selected in the
~/.wireshark/preferences file:

ssl.keys_list:
10.80.180.17,3334,http,/open/keys/bowmore.pem;10.80.180.17,3332,http,/open/keys/bowmore.pem;10.80.180.17,3335,http,/open/keys/bowmore.pem
ssl.debug_file: /tmp/wireshark_ssldebug.txt

Wireshark won't even come up with these settings.  I had to remove the
ssl.keys_list before the GUI would come up.

Here's a GDB backtrace (but debugging symbols weren't enabled, so it may not be
useful):

I suspect (but haven't confirmed) that it would work if I removed the
ssl.debug_file.

Any help would be appreciated!
