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.
