Don't record BoundsError exceptions as expert events - they merely
reflect a capture done with a snapshot length too short to capture all
of the packet (any case where it's caused by something else is a bug).
Now I understand the difference between BoundsError and ReportedBoundsError :-)
Well, don't simply remove the expert_info output at BoundsError, but add the comment from Guy why this (usually) isn't a bug (short snapshot length).
I've added the comment from you back into the code and a comment containing the previous expert_info line.
I don't use snapshot lengths and I've seen such messages in some of the capture files I've tested this function with, and some of them reported these errors (unfortunately, can't remember which files were causing this and I've tested a lot of them).
I'll privately will enable this again and report any messages / fix any bugs I'll find on this topic ...
