Summary: 0.99.2 crashes on big/long capture
Product: Wireshark
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: Major
Priority: Medium
Component: Wireshark
AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: graeme.nelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Leaving WireShark capturing for a few hours seems to cause it to crash. I have
had this happen twice so far.
First time: set it to capture for 18 hours, and it had been capturing for
3:58:19 (h:m:s) before it had a "windows" crash (Dr.Watson type thing that
WinXP does). Left me with a file in my temp directory called "etherXXXXVZIOCT"
will a length of 30,917,118 bytes. Was using WireShark 0.99.2pre1.
Second time: set it to capture for about 150 minutes and to save to files,
creating a new file every 10MB with the base filename of "PRL 28-7-2006".
After just over 2 hours it bombed (as described above), leaving me with to
files: "PRL 28-7-2006_00003_20060728140108.pcap" with a length of 10,485,834
bytes and "PRL 28-7-2006_00004_20060728143008.pcap" with a length of 7,727,579
bytes. There was no sign of 0001 and 0002 files. Was using WireShark 0.99.2.
There was a few GB of available hard disk space on both occasions. The
hardware was a HP Compaq nx7010 laptop with 512MB RAM running WinXP SP2.
WinPCap 3.1. WireShark was installed within Altiris SVS 2.0.1336.
Please let me know what other info you want.
