Comment # 18 on bug 11453 from
Same error with dumpcap:

tim@LOKI:~$ dumpcap -i wlan0 -w /tmp/dumpcaptest.pcapng
Capturing on 'wlan0'
File: /tmp/dumpcaptest.pcapng
Packets: 1439863 dumpcap: An error occurred while writing to the file to which
the capture was being saved
("/tmp/dumpcaptest.pcapng"): File too large.
Please report this to the Wireshark developers.
http://bugs.wireshark.org/
(This is not a crash; please do not report it as such.)
Packets captured: 1440755
Packets received/dropped on interface 'wlan0': 1440755/1
(pcap:0/dumpcap:1/flushed:0/ps_ifdrop:0) (100.0%)

Running the tcpdump command now, but northing's really happening.
