The machine Wireshark is on was provided by my IT dept and is theoretically a
minimal XP install. The only thing running is Wireshark.

My internal network is however awash with traffic of all sorts.

I'm attempting to do a long-running capture with multiple files in a ring
buffer arrangement.

Attempt #1: 50 Mb/file, 400 files
Attempt #2: 30 min/file, 100 files

Crash #1:
Both these attempts crashed a little way into the second file of the ring file
setup. The Windows Send/Don't Send box appears. I forgot to grab the details
from it, but will if it happens again.

Crash #2:
The first attempt's first ring file, which is 50 Mb, can be loaded and
manipulated as if nothing was wrong, but Wireshark always crashes when exiting.

Attempt #3: 10 sec/file, 200 files
Attempt #4: 1 min/file, 200 files

Both of these attempts made it past the second ring file, at which point I
aborted them.

Attempt #5: 15 min/file, 200 files

This is in progress, I will update when it's done.

These crashes are similar but not identical to bugs 2582, 2568, 2403.

I cannot debug, but am willing to try suggestions to help narrow either/both
issues down.

I cannot provide any capture files.
