Wireshark 1.6.4 Windows 7 32-bit Crashes on Capture Save

0

Am running 1.6.4 under 32-bit Windows and doing wireless captures using AirPcap cards across 1,6,11. Am using the aggregator virtual adapter that combines these. System captures properly, but when I go to save the capture the file (e.g. 71 MB) the file saves, and the a close dialog pops up on screen but never goes away. I have to kill the app and reboot to start a new capture. The saved capture seems OK. I have plenty of free disk space on this machine, also 3 GB of RAM and nothing else running at the time.

Any help is appreciated. It's important that I am able to capture on the 3 USB AirPcap devices at the same time.

This sounds like bug 3046, which has been fixed and is scheduled for 1.6.5, so look for it when it comes out. In the meantime, you can close the dialog using the ALT+F4 work-around mentioned by Johannes Lange in comment 18 of that bug report. Alternatively, you could upgrade to one of the automated releases from the unstable development branch if you wish.
