--
Qt based Wireshark will crash if the IO Graph window is closed before
background processing has completed.

Using recent buildbot version of Wireshark on OS X which uses Qt UI.

When using the IO Graph feature, if one opens a large enough trace file then
the Qt UI will temporarily display a progress bar in the lower left section of
the main window status bar.   If one closes the IO Graph window while the
progress bar is displayed, the IO Window will immediately close, but the
progress bar will continue to update as the retap, recalc or replot processing
apparently continues.  When the I/O Graph initiated background processing
completes Wireshark will crashwith Segmentation Fault: 11.   

The easiest way to recreate this crash is to open a relatively large file
(perhaps greater than 200MB).

The OS X Crash reporter generally indicates the thread dispatch queue as:

> Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
> 0   org.wireshark.Wireshark             0x00000001082ac056 IOGraphDialog::updateStatistics() + 232
> 1   org.wireshark.Wireshark             0x00000001084316ee IOGraphDialog::qt_static_metacall(QObject*, QMetaObject::Call, int, void**) + 380

but the crash report will occasionally list the thread dispatch queue as:

> Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
> 0   QtWidgets                     	0x000000010922ed8f QWidget::setFocus(Qt::FocusReason) + 17
> 1   org.wireshark.Wireshark       	0x00000001035616ee IOGraphDialog::qt_static_metacall(QObject*, QMetaObject::Call, int, void**) + 380

I will attach one example of the "IOGraphDialog::updateStatistics() + 232"
crash reports.
