Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Wireshark (1.4.0) fails opening large file on Windows Vista 32-bit.

[Marco Simone Zuppone <msz@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

the file is really huge. In my opinion is a good idea to use a 64bit os and try to use the lastes version of Wireshark (1.4.1) and...finger crossed :-)

Hi Wiresharkers,

 

I have received a large PCAP file on NTFS filesystem of size 2,439,870,895 bytes.

Opening the file yields the following error message (after a long wating time):

GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:136: failed to allocate 4294967295 bytes aborting…

 

To open the file, is it worth seeking for a 64-bit machine?

Is largefile support planned in any 32-bit versions of Wireshark?

 

cheers,

Tamas
