Hi there,
I was trying to get a capture started, it seems that only one "sample" was
captured. What I mean by this is, the first packet(s) get captured, all
following aren't recognized. So I tried dumping with tcpdump and opening the
resulting file with wireshark, but then it gave me this error:
The capture file appears to be damaged or corrupt.
(pcap: File has 1435526081-byte packet, bigger than maximum of 65535)

The file is not corrupted, tcpdump can read it. I have no idea why wireshark
stopped working lately.

tcpdump: 3.9.8-r1 or 4.0.1_pre20090709, doesn't make a difference
libcap: 2.17 or 2.19, no difference either
libpcap: 1.0.1_pre20090812

Best Regards
Johannes Jeske
