I ran a trace (numerous times over numerous days) overnight with multiple files
or as one file. Sometime overnight Wireshark stops responding and I need to
close the program and I found it in this state when I return in the morning to
check the trace.

Is there a fix for this yet? If not, please look into this and come up with
one. I need to run Wireshark for long periods of time to track down a bug in my
product firmware that is intermittent and does not happen often.

Thanks,
Martin
