Right, thanks. I normally hide the capture info dialog, so I forgot about those
statistics.
I checked in a change to explicitly increment the "other" count for these
invalid Ethernet frames, even though they would have been counted the same way
anyway in capture_ethertype(), but I think it's a little clearer this way.
