Double checking - none found. Nothing under /usr/local/lib, 
and /usr/lib/etheral/plugins is from the Debian package.

Also tried renaming ~/.ethereal to make it create a fresh configuration (in 
case anything odd was defined there).

This is the only app that is misbehaving, and this is my primary system 
(desktop environment, mail client, web browser, games, etc.). I would think, 
if it were a hardware issue, I would see problems with more than just one 
program. Even programs with the same library dependencies as ethereal work.

Just to be sure, though, I booted into memtest86+, and let it run five full 
passes of the standard tests. No errors were found.

If anyone's interested, the strace output (~ 285k) is available here:

http://aaube.nipl.net/ethereal.strace

Unless it shows something, I say just close the bug, and I'll take the issue 
to debian-user (which I now sorely regret not doing in the first place).
