[Ethereal-users] Bandwidth tracking and Error messages

[Laryn Bakker]

Good afternoon!  I'm new to Ethereal (and to Xterm, etc), but I've 
managed--with great help from Guy Harris--to get Ethereal running on 
my Mac OS X machine.  I've been researching the documentation and 
have figured out how to filter the capture on ports to capture only 
pop3, smtp, imap, and http, but the files are still enormous.  They 
do provide very useful info, though.  One other task I wonder if 
Ethereal can do, is to become a bandwidth tracker--is there any way 
to instruct the program to just keep track of how much gets put 
through each port?

Also, the program seems to crash on me semi-regularly.  Two messages 
from Xterm are below:

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
*** malloc: vm_allocate(size=131072) failed with 4294966995
*** malloc[18035]: error: Can't allocate region
mach_port_type() failed (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID
task_get_bootstrap_port() failed (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID

*** malloc[18418]: error: Can't allocate region

task_get_bootstrap_port() failed (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID

Has anyone seen this message before, or have an idea about tracking 
bandwidth with Ethereal?

Thanks a ton!
