Does this happen right after you save and/or when you open the file
later? Once you save, Wireshark reopens the capture from the saved
file, so you may be seeing it both times.
It means that the file is corrupt in a certain way.
What version of Wireshark are you running? Does this problem happen on
the most recent version of Wireshark?
