Dev,

Wireshark crashes regularly when I try to load large capture files (over 
100MB) on my FreeBSD system. I am currently using Wireshark 
wireshark-0.99.4_1, and FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE, but I have seen this problem 
through several version of Wireshark, and under previous version of FreeBSD.

The output from the gdb backtrace is:

Core was generated by `wireshark'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
#0  0x29e7eebf in ?? ()
(gdb) 


Is there any additional information that might be helpful in tracking down 
this problem?
