    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.

    Details:
    Code:
