Oscar,
I experienced that too and I think that means you don't have enough memory to either sniff more packets or open a capture file that is too large. I always close other applications I don't need and by doing that I could always avoid ethereal crash. I guess ethereal uses mostly physical memory. >From: Oscar Erlandsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: fink users <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Max Horn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [Fink-users] Ethereal crashes, malloc error >Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 17:13:50 +0200 > >I've noticed my ethereal crashing quite often with this error (mostly when >the number of packets sniffed is quite large): > >*** malloc[13470]: error: Can't allocate region >mach_port_type() failed (ipc/rcv) msg too large >task_get_bootstrap_port() failed (ipc/mig) wrong reply message ID > >[1] Abort sudo ethereal > >I vaguely remember experiencing it before my last update, which I did with >todays' CVS (I have the unstable tree activated): > >irray% fink --version >Package manager version: 0.9.11 >Distribution version: 0.4.0.cvs > >Ideas? > >-- > >Oscar Erlandsson >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >_______________________________________________ >Fink-users mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
