I'm following along in the Wireshark 101 book.  I'm on Lab 10 which deals with
Capturing to File Sets.  I've matched the settings in Step 4 (page 99).  It
doesn't seem to be creating a set.  It stops after creating one file.  I've
tried this on my desktop and my laptop, and I get the same results.  I'm
expecting 4 files as part of the set, but I only get one and the capture stops
just short of 10 seconds.  Sometimes 9 seconds.

I am using Wireshark version 1.10.7 by the way.  Both my laptop and desktop are
running MS Windows.  Specifically Windows 8.1 Professional for the laptop and
Windows 7 Professional for the desktop.

For the record, yes I do have the following selected:

Multiple files
Use pcap-ng format
Next file every 1 megabyte
Next file every 10 seconds
Stop capture after 4 files
