As the note at the top of your message (added automatically by the 
software that runs the Ethereal mailing list) notes, Ethereal 
development has moved to Wireshark.

The version of Ethereal you're using isn't even the last release of 
Ethereal; there have been releases after that, and there have been 
Wireshark releases after the last release of Ethereal.  You should try 
Wireshark 0.99.3, and see whether that crash has been fixed; if not, 
report it as a bug in the Wireshark Bugzilla.

See http://www.wireshark.org/ for the Wireshark Web site.
