--- Comment #3 from Guy Harris <guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 2012-02-10 19:58:38 PST ---
It would be a complete mistake to have *ANY* messages during packet capture
sent to the standard output if "-w" is specified because, when you capture, you
can capture with the output directed to the standard output, and dumping some
text crap to the standard output will corrupt your capture file.

I'm backing this change out, and reopening the bug.

If this is to be fixed, it must be fixed in some other fashion, as the change
from the patch broke some tests by producing capture files that caused errors
when read.
