By the way, if I use duration as stop condition (e.g. 10 files, switch
to the next one every minute) then it works. But when I add the "-b
files" option, it goes wrong.

Hello  Mr. Morriss,

I've just tried capturing (without using a named pipe or any of my
software) directly on a link, by setting the multiple files option in
the "capture options" menu.
The result is the same : 1st file is OK, the next ones are 1 message
each.
Did you do your test on solaris ? Or doesn't that have any influence ?

Kitty

As you noted, that bug should have been fixed already.

I just tried the current SVN version and didn't see the problem: each 
output file is about 10k.  I don't think anything has changed in this 
area between 0.99.3 and the current SVN version so I can't explain the 
behavior you're seeing.
