Re: stable release 1.6.1 is core dumped on Fedora 13, 15

An exception in packet.c can be nearly anything. The backtrace is what
I am looking for, as it would tell which dissector caused the
underlying issue.

There should be a file called core in the directory you called Wireshark from. Please send this file.

More precisely, "please send this file, and the entire build directory for Wireshark, to somebody also running the 
same version of Fedora".  Core dumps can't really be interpreted without the executable image that produced them and 
all the dynamically-loaded libraries (and, if the crash occurred in a run-time-loaded plugin, the plugin in 
question), including system libraries, it was using at the time - and at least some symbols are needed as well.

An alternative would be to run the debugger (gdb, probably) on the core dump and run the command to print a stack 
trace ("backtrace" or "bt", for gdb) and send us the stack trace.
