Oh, ok.  As you may have guessed, the only way tshark is currently 
programmed to clean up after itself is if it receives a ^C at the 
terminal (as far as I could tell from a quick look at the code).  I'm 
not an expert with the Windows development side of things; is there a 
way to send a termination signal to a process that lets it to clean up 
after itself first without killing it immediately?  If so, we could 
probably incorporate that signal catching in tshark.
