When opening .pcap files containing single or multiple repeated single file
downloads utilising HTTP rather than FTP, when going to check the file size
transferred by reading the HTTP1.1/OK message,  there is occuring Glib-ERROR **
: gmem.c.175 and Wireshark is forced to abort.

The same error has occurred when trying to view either 50Mb file size, or 300Mb
file size.  

The same error occurs when trying to export some file content to .txt, and even
when only trying to export say 6 messages around the required HTTP1.1/OK (with
export set to "Displayed packets", the Range specified and the Packet content
to be "Full expanded").   

Please find attached a screenshot of the problem.

My PC is XP SP3.

Cheers
John
