I have not observed any bugs as a result of this yet. But if anything depends
on wtap_dumpter.bytes_dumped field being correctly incremented, then there will
be a problem. And although the field itself is "internal", its value can be
retrieved via the wtap_get_bytes_dumped() API, making it a publicly accessible
bug.
