Build Information:
Version 2.0.1 (v2.0.1-0-g59ea380 from master-2.0)

--
1) start capture on any interface, capture at least two packets.
2) select another packet, memory use increases by ~4 MB

I have had crashes that are logged. I'm unwilling to attempt reproducing a
crash because swap usage slows down my system, and I suspect.

The 32-bit version has a similar behavior to a lesser extent, memory usage
increases by about 200 KB per selection.

Bug appears identical to
