           Summary: Starting wireshark crashes if register-dissector.py
                    isn't found
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: SVN
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Low
         Component: Wireshark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: jmayer@xxxxxxxxx


Build Information:
Wireshark build with python support.
--
Install wireshark and remove register-dissector.py.
Now, wireshark crashes without a hint to why when starting.

In my case the last lines of the strace output look like this:

open("/opt/test/lib/wireshark/python//register-dissector.py",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
