As the summary indicates, running "wireshark -i <interface> -c 100 -k -Q -w -"
from the command-line causes Wireshark to crash.

Additionally, as reported by Guy here[1], there appears to be a related problem
running this command on Mac OS X.  Apparently it doesn't crash but instead,
<quote>it popped up a complaint that "-" isn't a regular file (even though I'd
redirected the standard output to a file), but spewed out a ton of "poll(2)
failed due to: Bad file descriptor" complaints.</quote>.
