This is likely a duplicate of Bug 3640 and Bug 7722.

I found that it always crashed in the "Capture" preferences module. When i
investigated the capture-related preferences I found some bugs with
capture.columns which I reported in Bug 8865 and supplied a patch. That patch
also prevents Wireshark from crashing when switching between profiles. 

I'm resubmitting the patch for Bug 8865 here because that patch has not yet
been checked in. In addition, I'm supplying a different set of profiles than
those submitted in that bug report that specifically demonstrate the crashes.
