I can reproduce it with a slightly different error:

(wireshark:1498): Pango-CRITICAL **: file fonts.c: line 1093: assertion
`str != NULL' failed
wireshark: Warning: font zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  wireshark
unstable10x% pstack core

 0807d00d _start   (1, 8047e0c, 0, 8047e16, 8047e2f, 8047e3a) + 7d

Probably there is something fishy with the font handling.
