Title: MAPI decode / GLIB Error

All,

I have encountered an error when ethereal loads a trace of exchange client traffic.  When I load the attached trace I get a window with a message:

        Glib-ERROR **: could not allocate 1816617806 bytes aborting...

This is followed by a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error saying that the application has "requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way". Closing this box causes ethereal to quit.

This trace does not load in either ethereal or tethereal 0.9.11,  but can be read by WinDump. It also can be read by Ethereal 0.9.6, which recognises this as MAPI, but believes the 3rd frame is malformed.

<<splat2.trc>>
This trace was created using editcap from an original trace of several hundred  frames. All three frames are required to generate the error. 

I wonder if this could be a similar problem to what Richard Witt reported earlier?
