Good question.

I don't see that, however:

    UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI      VSZ    RSS WCHAN  STAT  TT       TIME 
COMMAND
    XXX 26205  7110   0  31  0   267796  93624 -      S+    p6    2:27.13 
tshark -ta -i en1 host mirror.cs.wisc.edu
    XXX 26223  7110   0  31  0   233036  27500 -      S+    p6    0:22.83 
tshark -ta -i en1 -o tcp.desegment_tcp_streams:false host
    XXX 26229  7110   0  31  0   150152  19728 -      S+    p6    0:00.60 
tshark -ta -i en1 -o tcp.desegment_tcp_streams:false host

where the first of those is after a download of an ISO from 
mirror.cs.wisc.edu with reassembly on, the second is after a download 
with reassembly off, and the latter is after TShark was started with no 
traffic whatsoever.

The *added* virtual memory with reassembly on is 117.644 MB, and the 
*added* virtual memory with reassembly off is 82.884 MB.  The ISO is 108 
MB, but there's only 34.760 MB more memory consumed with reassembly on.
   I'll look at running the "leaks" program with MallocStackLogging on, 
to see where the memory's going.
