Hi,

Ethereal core dumps on bus error when I hand it a snoop cature file
greater than 5K packets.  I have a quite hefty machine with 1/2 GB memory that's
very lightly loaded, no reason why it should choke like this.  I can start throwing
away the data and keep only the headers, but the box I'm trying to profile clocks
15K+ packets per second, what I capture will still be quite large.

Is this normal? Can I fix it?  (i.e. run w/ option or recompile from source 
with allowance for larger data size?)
