Well, if you're only looking for 50-100 Gb then the existing code "should" be
okay: the autostop_filesize contains the number of *kilo*bytes that should be
stored in a file.

Now, whether dumpcap can actually write files that big (especially on Windows)
is a-whole-nother question.  Have you tried it?


I'll attach a patch that mostly converts autostop_filesize to 64-bits (in case
2 TB is not enough), but it won't help GUI users as GtkSpinButtons:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkSpinButton.html

don't seem to support 64-bit numbers.
