you can just apply the patch yourself. The patch is really small.
I did but I have problems with build (described in another mail - I'd be glad if someone could help).
You run tethereal for very very very long captures? Like millions of packets? As i stated earlier, tethereal is stateful, i.e. in order to dissect quite a lot of different protocols it must remember stuff between packets. This will cause [t]ethereal to allocate more and more memory on your box until your OS thiks "enough is enough" and it will kill tethereal (or panic, if it is a suboptimal os).
My tests shows that during 24h period it grows up to 100M of memory, so that's huge but acceptable size, I restart it once a day to turn the logs.
