What about the third part - fixing libwiretap routines to fill in the
wtap_pkthdr structure?

Or are they doing so, with the real problem being that the "eth" dissector was
assuming that the packets were Ethernet packets in the capture file, so that
the Ethernet pseudo-header was filled in, when, in fact, it was the *ATM*
pseudo-header that was filled in?
