Out of memory, bad RAM or flaky hardware...

Compiling with -O2 (recommanded setting) give this error:

So it seem you are right with Out of memory, but sincerely, do you know many pentium mmx with this much memory (mine has 96Mo)
I don't know if it's a problem with gcc or ethereal, but it appears to be very much, for an application wich ought to run mainly on a router.

So please give this report to attention of a networking team member.
