Well, now I am sure. The latest CVS still has this problem.

OK, I did:

1. Start Ethereal on FreeBSD and click Capture-->Start

2. Ethered a capture filter that ensures no packets are captured

3. Clicked OK.

4. Waited a few seconds and then clicked Stop on the progress window.

5. Click File-->Quit

6. Up comes the Warning dialog box with Save Capture file before quit 
message.
