Hi Roger,The system monitor will only show you the amount of memory in use by programs, not what your OS is using as cache as well. If you add the system monitor to a taskbar, you can view both. I've seen it on my machine as well, if a lot is being used by cache, and has to be page file swapped out while a large capture is loading, wireshark will sometimes crash. (see attached pic)

Gentlemen, I was trying to open a 200MB .pcap file into Wireshark(1.2.2) under Ubuntu(see System Monitor.png) and I got the OutOfMemory message. According to the System Monitor, I was not out of memory(see OutOfMemory.png). I have read the Wiki page and it said that it would use all available memory/swap space. Is there some setting that I need to set to force it to use all memory and/or swap space? Any other reason that it is not using all the memory?
