When running a capture with tshark on Windows XP SP2, if the capture is not
sufficiently long enough (approx. 30 seconds), no packets are recorded in the
output file. The exact syntax of the command being executed is the following:

./tshark.exe -i 2 -w cap.eth -l

Even when the capture is long enough for some information to be capture, not
all of the contents is recorded. It appears that the output stream to the file
is not being flush immediately with each packet.

This same command is reported working by other members of our team on Linux
(Fedora 6) operating system.
