Saving a capture as type 'pcapng' results in a corrupt file that Wireshark
cannot (and/or will not) open.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Wireshark
2. Start capture
3. Wait for some packets
4. Stop capture
5. Save As
6. Select type pcapng
7. Save

Result:
Error dialog is shown:
The capture file appears to be damaged or corrupt.
(pcapng_read_unknown_block: total block length 0 of an unknown block type is
less than the minimum block size 12)

Expected result:
File is saved correctly and capture stays in Wireshark window.
