Note that applications will often save a file by:

    writing the new version of the file out with a different temporary name;

    if that succeeds, renaming the new file on top of the old one;

so that if the write *fails*, you haven't lost the old contents of the file.

That might, or might not, be important for Wireshark.  (It's certainly
important for preference files and for most documents.)
