Yes, this is a known problem in 5.0 with its new NDIS6 driver.  It
happens when the first bridged VM starts and, resp., the last bridged
VM stops.  You can restart the capture after that interruption.

It has always been this way on Windows, which is IMO rather
unfortunate, but NDIS is not really my area, so I don't know technical
details.
