When gksudo was used, and the dumpcap -S -M process is being sent a
SIGPIPE (13, broken pipe), dumpcap does not exit. When sudo was used,
dumpcap does.

Maybe some Gtk person, which I am not, should have a look at it?

I also noticed that there have been upstream changes around hidden -Z
('capture_child mode') dumpcap option. This was in Februari 2008. See
upstream ChangeLog file. It might be related but also it might not.
