Wireshark version? Does your dissector have GTK code ?(?!)

Wireshark does not allow dissector plug ins to add GUI. So this is not a Wireshark bug.

Well, the question Jaap Keuter asked is whether the dissector does, in fact, include GUI code; that question hasn't been answered. It could be that their dissector includes GUI code (which it shouldn't), or it could be that they're doing something that provokes a bug in Wireshark itself.

At this point, the right thing to do would be for them to ask in the wireshark-dev mailing list; they might have to show us the code.
