  Modified files:
    wiretap              file.c libpcap.c wtap.h 
  Log:
  Add in some heuristics to try to detect AIX libpcap format.  (This works
  with one capture I've seen, but perhaps that was done with an old
  version of AIX, and newer versions use a minor version number, in the
  file, of 4.
  
  However, libpcap hasn't used a minor version of 2 for ages, so perhaps
  AIX hasn't updated their libpcap in ages, and aren't about to do so
  soon.  If they do, let's hope they change the magic number.  The capture
  file in question *does* have the capture length and real length in the
  old, pre-2.3, order, so it really looks as if it's an old version,
  rather than IBM trying to be "helpful" by using a different minor
  version number so that you can distinguish between normal libpcap and
  AIX libpcap formats.)
