Ring buffer "file doesn't exist" error

Hello,

I am getting an error whenever I try to run a capture using a ring buffer.

Steps: 1. From the Capture window: select the interface 2. <output tab=""> Provide a filename and directory in the "File:" box (i.e. C:/capture.pcapng) 3. <output tab=""> Select "Create a new file automatically after..." and select the first box. Choose a small file size (100 kB for example) 4. <output tab=""> Select "Use a ring buffer with", and choose a number (3 or 4 for example) 5. Start the filter

After a few minutes, I will receive an error that says "The file "capture####.pcapng does not exist".

When I check the directory, there will be a set of linked files, with a count of one more than the number I specified (if I chose a ring buffer of 3, there will be four files), but the last one is incomplete.

Does anyone else get this error? Any ideas?
