Hi,
 
I am piping the tethereal output (Packet Details) to my app. I have some memory problems with the ethereal because everytime that I read the pipe (readfile) the proccess grow, because of this, the proccess crash, when I make the call I use the -l option that flush the output but this doesn't seem to work.
 
I don't understand why the program keep growing and crash.
 
Thanks,
