If tshark falls behind the ringbuffer, it will not clean up the file it was
working on when re-entering the buffer. this results in a situation where
residual files are left on the disk that are not expected to be there.
Example:
-rw------- 1 root root 98M Dec 9 10:20 tshark-stats_00018_20131209094918.pcap
-rw------- 1 root root 17M Dec 9 10:25 tshark-stats_00019_20131209102014.pcap
-rw------- 1 root root 98M Dec 8 22:50 tshark-stats_00067_20131208224648.pcap
-rw------- 1 root root 98M Dec 8 22:55 tshark-stats_00068_20131208225057.pcap
-rw------- 1 root root 22M Dec 8 22:56 tshark-stats_00069_20131208225518.pcap
Files 67, 68, and 69 should have been cleaned up once tshark finished
processing them, however are left behind instead.
