Wireshark/tshark is supposed to clean up these temporary files after it
is done with them. They've been a part of Wireshark/Ethereal for a long
time, including version 0.99.5. I don't see the problem on my system,
although it is saving the temporary files into /var/tmp instead of /tmp
as in your case. How are you terminating tshark? A ^C for me allows
for the cleanup of the temporary file. What type of Unix are you
running?
