Hi,

I'm doing a capture using the -R option to do some deep filtering on
GTP tunneled data. This seems to be eating up memory at a great pace
as I've had it running for only a few minutes and the process memory
according to "top" is reaching 1Gb.

Traces without the -R option run for months without issues - but as
soon as it is turned on memory usage grows very quickly. I'm capture
filtering the trace to reduce it to GTP's UDP ports, but this does not
seem to help.

Could anyone please provide some pointers as to how to narrow done
where in the code this memory leak is occuring?

Regards,
