Probably because there's something wrong with the pathname construction
code, at least on Windows.

I didn't have that precise problem; I fired up Ethereal once, added a
new display filter, and it saved it OK, but I then fired it up again,
deleted the new display filter, and when I tried to save it the dialog
box was

	Could not save to your display filter file "": File exists.

I also had problems saving capture files.
