Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 FYI: next time, please add the port's maintainer email to the ticket's Cc:
 when you create it (regular users cannot do that afterwards).

 wireshark doesn't actually crash, it is terminated because the X server is
 missing support for a feature it cannot apparently do without (wireshark
 itself, or one of the ports it depends on). I'm not sure how useful dtrace
 is in this context; the backtrace provided by Apple's Crash Reporter
 should be more useful to see which function call led to the abort.

 In the meantime, you could try to install the X server available in
 MacPorts, with luck it will support PPC and be a more recent version than
 the old one from the 10.5 DVD!
