I download Wireshark-win32-1.9.0-SVN-47676 onto a Windows Server 2008 32-bit
system and tested Qtshark while logged in via Remote Desktop. I am happy to
report that Qtshark does not have the problem with memory usage, while
Wireshark still does. If someone builds a version of Wireshark with GTK3, let
me know and I will be happy to test it for the excess memory usage.
