Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] running multiple instances

I am trying to run multiple instances of tshark, well not really multiple, one after another. But it seems that maybe one of the processes is not entirely done before the second one starts. Here are the two commands:

tshark -r merge5.pcap -o column.format:"Info","%i"

tshark -r merge5.pcap -V

When I try this it gives an application error and shuts down Tshark. I tried these two commands on a smaller file (144KB) and it works fine; the file I am trying to use now is 4.59MB. Could it be the file size? Any other ideas?
