I did a little more investigation on this:

The crash only happens trying to display the response packets in the bug 
trace - handling the request packets is fine, and both go through the 
same execution path in this area. The big difference between the request 
and the response is that the _values_ of the 64 bit monotonic replay 
detection counter: the requests use very small values, the responses use 
huge values (i.e. all bytes of the 64 bit values are non-zero).

The crash definitely happens deep in the glib handling of the 
g_vsnprintf - I dont have a debug build of glib, but it looked like it 
went into the guts of the core gnulib/vasnprintf, where it hit an abort 
call. Without the debug lib it is difficult to see where or why.

Bottom line: looks to me like a glib bug or a build incompatibility 
between guint64 handling in the glib binary and ethereal perhaps?
