Yes,
All 3 files open without a problem.

That's probably the result of some incorrect step in the process.
I took your original Snif6.caz and did
gzcat Snif6.caz >Snif6.cap gzip <Snif6.cap >Snif6x.caz
and compared them with "cmp -l", and got
5 0 61 6 0 104 7 0 140 8 0 77 10 13 3 8550 253 243 8551 10 364 8552 270 174 8553 317 150
As in my earlier message, the first 4 bytes are probably the original file time stamp, the next byte is probably the OS on which the compression was done, and the last 4 bytes are the CRC-32.
I've attached all three files - what does the Sniffer do when you read them?
Presumably Snif6.caz works, as it was written by the Sniffer, and Snif6.cap *should* work, as it's been forcibly decompressed by running "gzcat" rather than "gunzip" and ignoring the "invalid compressed data--crc error" complaint.
The question is whether Snif6x.caz works - if so, then the Sniffer is apparently ignoring the CRC (and perhaps producing a bad CRC when generating compressed files), and, if it doesn't work, it's probably that the Sniffer is using some non-standard CRC algorithm (or a buggy one in both the generation *and* the checking).
