Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.  I'm not sure how it would cause 
the extra gunk at the end of each packet, but even if that's *not* the 
problem, we should be doing that anyway (WinDump does).

We should perhaps also not close the FILE * to which we're writing if 
it's the standard output (I think tcpdump/WinDump are doing that as well).
