Hi,
Thanks Ulf !!
While capturing packets, I used multiple files option (Split the capture
file into several smaller ones) and didn't choose option "Update list of
packets in real time".
With this configuration I was able to capture 7,500,000 packets. This means
probably there are memory leaks in Ethereal.
Is there any patch available to remove the memory leaks or how good are
newer versions in terms of memory leak?
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav
