Comment # 13 on bug 2630 from
I am running CentOS 6.3 and think I am hitting this bug.  In the past, I used
the version of Wireshark in the EPEL repo but it is version 1.2.  Now I need
some features that are in 1.8 so I downloaded the source from wireshark.org and
used the .spec file to create a RPM.  Then I uninstalled all Wireshark packages
and installed the RPM created from the Wireshark provided .spec file.  However,
now when I try to work with calls longer than a couple of minutes, it crashes. 
Here is an example capture file that shows the issue along with a crashdump
from Wireshark.  The specific call is to 504-655-6855 and starts at 17:46:19.

Here is a link to the example capture and core dump:

This is the console log from the crash:
[tirian@rhyme caps]$ ulimit -c unlimited
[tirian@rhyme caps]$ wireshark 
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 118653 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
