Trace was taken on an AIX system with:
tcpdump -s 1550 -w filename.pcap -i en0

When reading capture file with older versions of Wireshark, all is well.  When
reading capture file with 1.8.1, Wireshark loops at 100% of a single core and
never even shows the "Loading .." dialogue on my Xp Professional PC.  On my
friends Windows 7 PC the file gets to 6% processed and hangs.  The trace
appears to be a Tcpdump version 2 capture file.
