Wireshark segmentation fault
I'm getting a Wireshark seg fault when I tried to execute the application today.
System fully updated running in VMWare 12.1.
Host is Windows 10 Home x64
This is a Kali 2016.2 XFCE version with the awesome g0tmi1k post install script. Machine running great for the last 12 months.
