I am running Ethereal 0.8.16 on FreeBSD-4.2-RELEASE with GTK+ 1.2.9, libpcap
0.5 and capturing with tcpdump 3.5.

I am capturing from a Gigabit card and creating new capture files hourly.
When I try to open a capture file (500Mb) in Ethereal, it crashes and exits.

The system is a PIII-800, 1Gb RAM and 25Gb free disk space for captures.  

Has anyone else tried to open or work with files as large as this
successfully?
