Build Information:
TShark 1.0.2 (SVN Rev 25698)

Copyright 1998-2008 Gerald Combs <ger...@wireshark.org> and contributors.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Compiled with GLib 2.16.3, with libpcap 0.9.5, with libz 1.2.3, without POSIX
capabilities, without libpcre, without SMI, without ADNS, without Lua, without
GnuTLS, without Gcrypt, with MIT Kerberos.
NOTE: this build doesn't support the "matches" operator for Wireshark filter
syntax.

Running on Darwin 9.4.0 (MacOS 10.5.4), with libpcap version 0.9.5.

Built using gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465).

TShark, when run without -w, isn't told to permanently save the captured 
packets to a file; it's only supposed to dissect and print the packets.

Currently, it does that by running dumpcap without "-w", so that it
writes to a temporary file, and then reads the temporary file.

This means that if you leave TShark running for a long period of time,
and it captures a lot of packets, a large capture file is written, which
can fill up the disk;

In addition, it appears that, in some cases, the capture file isn't
deleted.

TShark should run dumpcap in a mode where it writes the captured packets
to a pipe, fflushing the output stream at the end of a packet batch, and
reads captured packets from the pipe.

Bug 1650 (error when using ring buffer mode when the buffer files are
deleted before *shark gets to them) could also benefit from using a pipe
to pass packets from dumpcap to *shark.  (Doing that would also allow
read filters to work while capturing again.)

@Jeff Morriss: Has this suggestion been done in tshark of the branch
trunk-1.10? If we do this, does it mean we don't need a temp .pcap file
stored in the disk and the data could be transferred directly from
dumpcap to tshark via a pipe?

As one might infer from the fact that this bug is in the CONFIRMED state
rather than the RESOLVED/FIXED state, this has not been done anywhere in
the SVN repository for Wireshark.
