Hi, 
I hope tethereal questions are allowed here. I just joined.
I run, Windows NT4 SP6, tethereal: GNU 0.8.12, w libcap 0.4a6, w/o libz and
SNMP.

When I use -R <read filter> switch I can see memory (private bytes, virtual
bytes and working set) steadily increasing, eventually after several hours
crashing the app.
comand line I use is: 
tethereal -R "(ip.src == 10.2.1.1 or ip.dst == 10.2.1.2) and tcp.port ==
1099" -w log1.cap

if I dont use the -R switch there are no leaks.i.e.
tethereal -w log1.cap

What am I doing wrong?
Why does -f switch return syntax error for the above command line?
