Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Timestamp Skew

I wanted to post here before clogging the bug tracker.

I'm running 1.2.2-22910 on a Windows Server 2003 box dedicated to sniffing. I have captures running for weeks using dumpcap as well as some in the GUI. My reason for posting is that the timestamps have skewed in to the future. Right now I can send a packet to update my capture and notice about a 4 minute difference between the time on the box and the timestamp wireshark displays. This does carry over to other systems when I open the files there.

Anyone heard of this. I think the best way to reproduce is to leave a capture running for a day or so.

Thanks,
Lee
