           Summary: Various instances of wireshark reading from various
                    named pipes -> closing error
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: 0.99.3
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Wireshark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: Kitty.Janssens@xxxxxxxxxxx

>From within a c++ program, I create various named pipes and start up various
wireshark instances, each reading from a named pipe (-i option).
I can send messages in the named pipes and they come out on the correct
wireshark instance.
So, I :

Create pipe A, start wireshark to read from A
Create pipe B, start wireshark to read from B
Create pipe C, start wireshark to read from C

Send messages in the pipes A, B, C in any order -> OK, they come out on the
correct wireshark instance

Then I want close the named pipes.

It works when I use the following sequence :

Close pipe C, wireshark (C) stops it's capture 
Close pipe B, wireshark (B) stops it's capture 
Close pipe A, wireshark (A) stops it's capture 

But if I first close a pipe that wasn't the last one created, e.g.

Close pipe A,  
Close pipe B, 
Close pipe C, 

then wireshark doesn't stop it's capture (although the pipe it is started with
is closed and even deleted (unlink) ! )
When I force it to stop (pressing the stop button), I get the error "child
capture process died: Segmentation violation - core dumped" .

Wireshark A does stop the capture when all instances/pipes are gone that have
been created after A.

Could this be a bug ?
