--- Comment #3 from Stephen Fisher <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 2010-09-22 10:29:07 MDT ---
This is where it's documented in README.developer:
PROTOABBREV A name for the protocol for use in filter expressions;
it shall contain only lower-case letters, digits, and
hyphens.
The crash isn't very helpful unless you can see the console screen where it
displays this message:
10:24:21 Err Protocol filter name "eXec" has one or more invalid
characters. Allowed are lower characters, digits, '-', '_' and '.'. This might
be caused by an inappropriate plugin or a development error.
Abort (core dumped)
You can tell Wireshark on Windows to display the console when there are errors
or always in the preferences.
