Since wireshark 1.10.0 it dumps core during startup, the splashscreen with the
module loading is shown correctly but before the main window opens it dumps
core with the following stack trace:

(wireshark:1498): Pango-CRITICAL **: file fonts.c: line 1093: assertion `str !=
NULL' failed
wireshark: Warning: font zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) wireshark
unstable10x% pstack core
core 'core' of 1498: wireshark
 fee763ec strlen (824f0a3, 8047b48, 827c120, 0) + c
 feed4352 fprintf (827c120) + ba
 081647c8 font_init (80666be, feffd768, fef90538, 0, 0, 0) + 37
 080a8316 main (0, 8047d4c, 8047d50, 8047d3c) + fe6
 0807d00d _start (1, 8047e0c, 0, 8047e16, 8047e2f, 8047e3a) + 7d

Probably there is something fishy with the font handling.

Version 1.8.6 works with the same build recipe (apart from version) fine.
