------- Comment #2 from ulf.lamping@xxxxxx  2006-10-29 14:50 GMT -------
This was discussed before (I'm not sure if it's a duplicate of an existing
bugzilla entry - couldn't find it at least). BTW: I'm not sure if this is only
a display problem or you get wrong dissection, too.

The problem is that the file size is kept as an int at some places in the code
(and also in the zlib we're using). An int will become negative at running over
2GB so you'll see this.

Could you explain how to open a file of that size without running into the:
http://wiki.wireshark.org/KnownBugs/OutOfMemory problem?

I can't reproduce this as I won't be able to simply open such a huge file ...
