Hello,

I've just managed to destroy some online capture data and then reproduced
this with a (copy of a) saved file:

1) run ethereal with a capture file
2) select a display filter
3) select save as with the same file name

Result: Capture file destroyed. 

IMHO, it shouldn't be possible to destroy your data that way. Either the
operation should not be permitted or it should create a temporary output
file that gets renamed after successful operation.

 ciao
  Jörg

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
