I have seen others having this issue, but I cannot find any related bugs with
my searches. Appologies if I have missed any. I have tested this & confirmed it
is deffinately an issue.

When Wireshark V1.8.0 is capturing to multiple files of say 100K (in pcapng
format), Wireshark will crash with no error given after about 4 files. I have
repeated the test in pcap format and the result is the same.

If I try 10M files it crashes after a couple of files.

I have seen on the Wireshark-users mailing list, other people saying with 100K
files it crashes after 34 files on Windows 7.
