I used tethereal to filter by date some packets saved
in a file during a previous capture session (it was
about 700MB of data collected in a week and I wanted
to split them by day).
While tethereal was running I saw the memory used by
the program was increasing up to reaching an amount of
memery comparable to the size of the input file.

Is this behavoir normal?

Thanks.
