    Yes, according to the file you sent, the problem is exactly as I said,
    you're out of swap space. Looking at the memory requested on the
    heap, it looks like you're pushing up into a heap size of 1.8 GB for
    this program. If you're not "almost done" with the file at that
    point, then you're going to have to split the file up to process it,
    because I suspect that you're next going to run up against the total
    virtual memory limit. If you run tcptrace with the -t option, it'll
    tell you it's progress in packets and wallclock time, which should
    give you some idea how close it is to being done (if you know the
    timeframe that the file represents).

    If you need to break up the file, you should look into 'tcpslice',
    which is very handy for splitting files into pieces.
