SIGPIPE isn't one of the signals that maps to an exception that pops up the
crash dialog (just as SIGINT, as generated by control-C, doesn't, SIGPIPE,
which can be generated by program A piping to program B, program B crashing and
closing the pipe, and the write to the pipe crashing program A with SIGPIPE in
order to make the pipeline stop - old UNIX tradition there - doesn't do that
either).
That crash would probably be due to Wireshark writing to a pipe or socket
that's been closed out from under it.
