I start dumpcap in ring buffer mode without stop conditions. Dumpcap creates
files with the following format: myfile_number_datestamp.cap. the Number
parameter has 5 digits, that means the maximum number of files is 99999. After
approaching the 99999 files, the number changes to 10001 (unexpectedly) and the
most important: if I had ring buffer with MORE THAN ONE file (3 files, 5 files)
before 99999, than after i have only ONE file in ring buffer. This confuses me,
because I expect to see the same amount of files in my ring buffer. Think it
overflow problem in dumpcap code. I tried also on 0.0.3 version of Wireshark
packet - the same problem
