I did a bit of digging in the source code. The patch which Dan mentioned as fixing this bug exists in 10.10, so this bug is fixed.
JC, it sounds like you have a different bug happening. I am currently unable to reproduce it using my 64-bit 10.10 system, but if you open a new bug with the 'ubuntu-bug libpcap0.8' command, that will attach some extra info which will hopefully tell me what I need to know. ** Changed in: libpcap (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- Memory leak from libpcap on Karmic Koala https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
