Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Running (T)Ethereal forever

[Pierre JUHEN <pierre.juhen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to run tethereal on a PC "forever".

I use it to capture on an ethereal interface, filter some packets, and them
on the network through another interface.

However, tethereal consumes memory for each packet, and crashes when 
there is no more
memory...

Would it be possible to have an option where tethereal releases the 
memory used by the capture,
after either a  number of packets, or a certain amount of time.

This would be also useful for ethereal in graphical mode, but I guess 
it's more difficult.

Thank you,

Pierre Juhen
