Wireshark is set to create a ring buffer of 800 25M files.  Not long after it
starts capturing, I can no longer use the Capture/Stop button to stop and save
the trace. When customer calls that the error I'm looking for occurred, I have
to X out and risk losing part of the latest file.

Note that I have real time packet update disabled.  When I enable it, I don't
lose the Capture/Stop button.

Note also, for what it's worth, that even as packets are being captured, the
Start button is NOT grayed out -- when I hit it just for the heck of it, WS
sends an error that "You didn't specify an interface on which to capture
packets".
