Dev,
Wireshark crashes regularly when I try to load large capture files (over
100MB) on my FreeBSD system. I am currently using Wireshark
wireshark-0.99.4_1, and FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE, but I have seen this problem
through several version of Wireshark, and under previous version of FreeBSD.
The output from the gdb backtrace is:
Core was generated by `wireshark'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
#0 0x29e7eebf in ?? ()
(gdb)
Is there any additional information that might be helpful in tracking down
this problem?
Well, this might help:

Is Wireshark printing anything to stdout/stderr when it crashes for you?
I thought I read recently (in SVN) that there's been some improvement in
the printout (to make it clearer when it's run out of memory), but I'm
not sure about that.
