When attempting to run tshark in a way as to not generate a temporary pcap file
(to avoid dumpcap being slowed down from slow disk), tshark will invariably
crash out after an indeterminate amount of packets with the error below:

root@dofler:~# dumpcap -i eth0 -w - | tshark -T psml -PS -l -r -
<SNIP>
