Hi,

During heavy traffic the following procedure is followed.

-          Capture with wirsehark, don’t update packets in real time no auto scrolling.

-          Stop capture, wait while packets are read.

-          Start new capture, stop capture.

-          Once all packets are read(?) Wireshark crashes.

 

(wireshark:25209): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_array_free: assertion `array' failed

 

(wireshark:25209): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_array_free: assertion `array' failed

**

ERROR:wmem_allocator_block.c:341:wmem_block_split_free_chunk: assertion failed: (!chunk->used)

 

[1]+  Aborted                 (core dumped) wireshark

 

The Glib warnings  is always there…, the wmem crash is the interesting bit. Not sure if heavy traffic is needed.

Regards

Anders
