So what selects the "Multiple files" mode, as opposed to the "Single
file" mode or the "Ring buffer" mode?

In "Multiple files" mode, the only reasonable "Number of files" value
would be "infinity" - any other value would imply that it'd write no
more than that number of files.

Perhaps, instead:

	if none of the "Next capture file every ..." options are
	checked, Ethereal runs in single file mode;

	if one of the "Next capture file every ..." options is checked,
	then:

		if "Use ring buffer" isn't checked, Ethereal runs in
		"Multiple files" mode, and "Number of files" is grayed
		out;

		if "Use ring buffer" is checked, Ethereal runs in "Ring
		buffer" mode, and "Number of files" is active - and
		should probably have a range between 2 and 1024.
