I'm using 0.10.4 on Windows 2000 with GTK+ 2.2.4 (Glib 2.2.3) and winpcap 3.0.  It looks like the "Stop after [filesize]" feature has a bug.  The number of bytes for the filesize is computed correctly according to the factors kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes.  However, when I start a second capture, Ethereal keeps the multiplying factor and also inserts the total number of bytes computed for the last run.  So we get the factor twice.

1k       1024k
2k       2048M
3M       3145728M

1M       1048576M
10M      10485760M
100M 104857600M 
Resulting in lots of this error:

Stop Capture: Requested filesize too large!

The setting "... after x byte(s)" can't be greater than 2147483647 bytes (2GB).
Can anyone confirm? I apologize if this is already well-known. 
This wasn't well known, thank you for your bug report!
I've checked in a fix for this, so if the dialog is reopened again, it will try to find the correct unit corresponding to the value and adjust the value corresponding.
