---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 I'm using Mac OS X 10.5, and Port Version 1.6.0.

 Wireshark 0.99.7 always crashes after capturing approx. 5 seconds with
 this error:

 {{{
 beninb:~ beni$ sudo wireshark
 The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error.
 This probably reflects a bug in the program.
 The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
   (Details: serial 11374 error_code 8 request_code 152 minor_code 4)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
 function.)

 }}}
 I know, running it as root is not good. but wireshark can't access my
 network-cards when running as standard user.

 This bug always occurs, on interface 'en0' and 'lo0'. i couldn't test it
 with the other interface 'en1', as i have no Wireless LAN here.


 Please contact me, if you need more information about my system.
