Wireshark 1.6 ,1.8. 1.8 RC2 generating a runtime library error (Terminal in a unusual way…)

0

Hi there,

Could anyone let me know if you encountered this issue where Wireshark is capturing packets fine for few minutes and then crash with the following Microsoft Virtual C++ runtime library error:

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. ...

I am running windows 2008 R2 x64 SP1 + all the latest patches and tried it over 3 different servers and with Wireshark V1.6.10, 1.8 and 1.8RC2 and got the same result.

Please let me know if you have any idea on how to resolve this.

Thanks !

What sort of interfaces are you capturing on, and what level of traffic is occurring on those interfaces? Are you setting any capture filters? It's possible that you are capturing so much data that Wireshark is simply running out of memory.
