When using the multiple files option, Wireshark appears to crash when it
finishes the first file and starts writing the second file. A modal Windows
dialog pops up with the message "Wireshark has stopped working. A problem
caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program
and notify you if a solution is available." The dialog has a "Close program"
button. Behind the dialog, the Wireshark interface is greyed out and
unresponsive. The only possible action is to click the "Close program" button,
which closes Wireshark.

However, while the Wireshark interface is unresponsive, until the "Close
program" button is clicked, Wireshark/dumpcap continues to capture packets and
to write to the file set, rolling over to new files when it should.

TO REPRODUCE:

Go to Capture Options. Select an interface. Go to the Output tab. Make sure
"Capture to a permanent file" is checked. Browse to the location where you want
to put the output files, and enter a base filename.

Check "Create a new file automatically after..."

Select the second option, and set the time interval to a relatively short
value, say a minute or less and start capturing.

Wireshark will appear to crash at the end of the time interval when it rolls
over to the second file.
