tshark (and Wireshark) use increasing amounts of memory as they see more and
more packets.  For a 10 Gb file you'd need *at least* 10 Gb of memory, more
likely 20-30 Gb.

See:

http://wiki.wireshark.org/KnownBugs/OutOfMemory

for more information especially about why tshark/Wireshark abort when they run
out of memory.
