Well, not any more it doesn't, with the code currently in CVS; see my
recent reply to Ben Fowler's mail - the changes necessary to make
Ethereal not blow up if you do "File->Quit" while it's reading in a
capture file also let us arrange that it kill the child capture process
if you do "File->Quit" while it's doing a real-time capture.

I leave doing it on Win32 as an exercise for the reader, for now; see
the code at the end of "cap_file_input_cb()" in "capture.c".
