Further Information:

Keeping in mind that I know nothing about how to use gdb, I ran

<gdb wireshark wireshark.core> and the last three lines were:

Loaded symbols for /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
#0  0x000000080945ec0b in g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a () 
from /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
[New Thread 810006400 (LWP 100240/wireshark)]

Both ld-elf.so.1 and libgobject.so.1 are present.

I hope this is helpful to someone, but I don't know how to interpret it.
