When i try to export a .pcap file (having about 500 packets) into pdml format, wireshark crashes.I'm using the latest version (1.0.99-SVN-25168) of wireshark. is there any common reason (like it would not support large trace files?)

Yes, there's a common reason (like it has a bug). 500 packets is not even remotely *close* to a large trace file. 500,000 packets would be a large trace file.

Does it crash on *all* pcap files, or just one particular pcap file? Could you file a bug on bugs.wireshark.org, and attach the pcap file (perhaps making it a private attachment)?
