I compiled several versions of wireshark on slackware64-14.0.  Up to and
including 1.8.9, everything is fine.  Versions 1.10.0, 1.10.1, and
1.10.2pre1-51009 all have the same problem.  Compilation works fine 
(./configure && make).  Attempt to start wireshark results in immediate
segfault.  Same happens with rawshark, tshark, and dumpcap, so it is not just
gui.

I ran all four through strace (strace ./<program> >&
segfault-<program>.<version>.txt).  Results from strace runs (version
1.10.2pre1-51009) are attached.

I can run more tests, or provide more detailed information if needed.

Andy
