Note that one side-effect of compiling from source may be that you do so
by downloading the latest version of Ethereal, which may have bug fixes
in it that aren't in the appallingly-old 0.8.4 binary that you get from
sunfreeware.org.
If we keep seeing problems, perhaps we should remove the link to
sunfreeware.org from the binary packages section on the Ethereal site -
people might be better served by getting GCC and building Ethereal from
source than by downloading an installing the binary, *even when taking
the pain of installing GCC if necessary, running configure, and running
make*, if 0.8.4 has a bug, on SPARC/Solaris, a bug that frequently
causes crashes, and that bug is fixed in the current version.
