When I saved the Flow Graph to a text file, the attached file shows what was
dumped to disk.

I was using the "Displayed Packets" only option, where there were only 239
packets of a total of 458 packets displayed.  Size of the CAP file was only
180KB.

But if you unzip the attached file, you'll see a 10MB text output with
radically unnecessary "---------------------------------------------" in
several places.
