When a time reference is set the cumulative byte counters reset to zero
starting at the frame where the toggle was set.  That frame has a correct
cumulative byte count.  However, the cumulative byte count is off by X where X
equals the number of bytes in the first frame of the time reference.  

For example, if the first frame of the time reference has 488 bytes its
cumulative byte count is 488 but the second frame of 489 bytes has a cumulative
byte count of 1465 (488+488+489).  It should be 977 (488+489).

I have been able to reproduce this on multiple capture files as well as on
version 0.99.5.
