A segfault happens when a program is doing something with memory it shouldn't be. Writing outside of the bounds of an array, that sort of thing.
It points to a problem with the wireshark source, not your system. Search wireshark's bug tracker (or your distro's bug tracker for 'wireshark'), see if it is a known issue. Perhaps file a bug.

Oh, and if you have any experience with C and/or debugging, running the program through 'strace' or with gdb might give you a better idea where the problem is.
