I have tried using the Capture function in WIN32, but it is not very useable. If I capture a file, Ethereal 
will not load it. It will hang somewhere in the middle. Restarting Ethereal and reloading the file does 
not help either. If someone wants to take a look at a file, please contact me, because this is a case 
of "so close, yet so far away".

I just tried two cases, all standard options, once with no filename supplied and once with a filename.

The funny thing is I have once (in about 30 cases) been able to capture to a file, but not since.....
