Hi,
Putting Reply-ASAP in the Subject row is not realy useful :-(

I suspect this is related to http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Roadmap

Rev 38045<http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=38045>, Rev 
38046<http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=38046> - Bug 
6540<https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6540> - Don't use g_mutex without having threads.

If try applying thos two patches.

Using a more modern GTK than GTK+ 2.10.4, with GLib 2.12.3 may also help.

Best regards

Anders
