Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Ethereal-win32 : Memory not de-allocated when closing an old sniffer trace

[Alex Lam <alexl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I believe there is a memory leak in Ethereal-win32, v0.10.9, but dated 
back to at least 0.10.7.
The symptom is that memory is not de-allocated when you close a previous 
capture with the
File->close menu command. In fact, each time you change the display 
filter, more memory is
required, even when you are just toggling between 2 filters. To reclaim 
the memory, you need
to close ethereal altogether.

Havn't tested this on Linux.

Thanks in advance for looking at this.

cheers,
Alex.
