           Summary: Mate has memory leaks  if GLib > 2.8 due to use of
                    GMemChunks
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: SVN
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Low
         Component: Wireshark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: wmeier@xxxxxxxxxxx


Build Information:
.
--
plugins/mate_util.c uses various GLib GMemChunk functions including
g_mem_chunk_destroy.

Unfortunately, as of GLib version 2.10, g_mem_chunk_destroy doesn't actually
free memory thus leading to memory leaks.

(I'm completely unfamiliar with the Mate code so I'm posting this as a bug  so
it doesn't get lost).
