I am experiencing a variation of this zlib problem on OS X. I first
posted about the problem in July:
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200607/msg00530.html
I never spent too much time on trying to figure it out, although at one
point I narrowed it down to the code in the wiretap/ directory.
I too have a a second zlib installed by MacPorts (DarwinPorts) in /opt
and whenever I build from source, I experience the problem. When I
deactivate zlib, it works properly. So this issue isn't limited to
reading capture files. The DarwinPorts build of Wireshark doesn't have
this problem (it specifies --with-zlib=/opt/local when building).
