When opening the attached packet capture with either qt or gtk I see the memory
for the wireshark process quickly escalate. I narrowed it down to a single
packet that seems to represent the issue and will attach that after submission. 

here is the packet:
c:\Users\pat\Downloads\bad_packs\really_really_bad\the_worst_packet>tshark -
r bad_packet_00003_20160829071957.pcap -O ssl
