If I opened the Snif6.caz and did as Greg wrote in his mail (filter+Reset) I got the same problem as him.

If I renamed the file to Snif6.cap.gz and extracted the Snif6.cap with WinZip (that didn't complain that the file is corrupted) and
opened the Snif6.cap file I got and then did as Greg wrote in his mail (filter+Reset) the file was correctly dissected even after filtering+Reset.
