--- Comment #7 from Guy Harris <guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 2011-08-23 20:20:14 PDT ---
The reason why Wireshark quits rather than leaving the dialog up is the -Q
flag, which means "quit as soon as the capture stops"; it's not clear that's a
useful option for Wireshark, so the right way to handle that might be to nuke
the -Q flag.  (The person who discovered the crash probably had no use for the
GUI and really wanted TShark.)  I've asked on wireshark-users whether anybody
has any use for -Q; if not, the right fix is to get rid of that option in the
Wireshark code.
