The configure script was recently modified to include Python in the build by
default:
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/configure.in?revision=38611&view=markup#l1679

When Python is included, Wireshark and TShark crash at startup with the
following error:

   Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
   Abort trap: 6


A workaround is to exclude Python from the build:

    ./configure --without-python
