looks like you may or may not need to make a small change to the code

Wireshark is an awesome took for network testing.

Applies the patch and compiled but failed to execute (on Ubuntu)...

14:43:34          Err  file about_dlg.c: line 250 (splash_update): assertion
failed: (ul_sofar <= ul_count)
Aborted (core dumped)

Any ideas? Has someone tried this on Ubuntu?

Oh, I just commented out that assertion and it all worked with a fuss:

(lt-wireshark:32429): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_progress_set_percentage:
assertion `percentage >= 0 && percentage <= 1.0' failed

Who cares if the progress bar goes beyond 100%... :)
