Greetings:

I've got the latest and greatest version of Ethereal for Solaris (ethereal-0.10.4-solaris2.9-sparc-local.bz2) installed on a SunBlade 2000 running Solaris 9 here at work, and have noticed that if I open a large capture file, then close it, Ethereal does not release the memory it used back to the operating system. If I open and close multiple capture files, the situation only gets worse.

Would it be possible for somebody to take a look at this behavior?

Regards,

Jeff Korpa
