Hello Mr. Morriss,
I've just tried capturing (without using a named pipe or any of my
software) directly on a link, by setting the multiple files option in
the "capture options" menu.
The result is the same : 1st file is OK, the next ones are 1 message
each.
Did you do your test on solaris ? Or doesn't that have any influence ?
Kitty

As you noted, that bug should have been fixed already.
I just tried the current SVN version and didn't see the problem: each
output file is about 10k. I don't think anything has changed in this
area between 0.99.3 and the current SVN version so I can't explain the
behavior you're seeing.
