Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] 10.6 Crash on Linux

[Bob Evans <bob.evans@xxxxxxxx>]

More data...

The crash seems to occur only when I have "Update list of packets in real
time" selected.
Also, in this mode, the displayed rate of packet capture is about an order
of magniture larger than when I have not selected "Update list of packets
in real time".

On MontaVista 3.0 Linux I consistently get the following crash ONLY when the capture rate is very high, like 1000 packets per seconds.
If I apply some filtering and/or move to another less-busy interface, the crash does not occur and the packet capture continues accumulating way beyond the high-rate run (by looking at the sizes on the /tmp/etherXXX files created).  So it is not the size of the capture, but the rate.  If I run on the busy interface and quickly (like immediately) stop the capture, the crash does not occur.
I have not modified the 0.10.6 code for this test.
