Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 13119] extcap: stop/restart capture yields a zombie proces

Comment # 3 on bug 13119 from
Thanks for answering.

Initially I tried with Wireshark 2.3.0 (v2.3.0rc0-1429-g1ae0c1e) built from
sources (--with-gtk=yes --with-qt=no --with-extcap --enable-androiddump) but,
as I was getting zombies, I decided to try with one old stable without luck.

So my question is: is there a proper and/or documented way to handle wireshark
signals in an extcap? I am not sure if I am not handling signals properly or if
it is wireshark that somehow kills the extcap without waiting for it thus
leaving it as a zombie.
