I'm calling the following (under cygwin):

But it works OK if you do

    ./tethereal -i 3 -c 10 -a duration:30 -F libpcap -w testout.pcap

?

Yes, the test case "directly writing to a file" is working well.
Any ideas what is going on?
It is possible that stdout is not being set to binmode by ethereal. I do not have a Cygwin system set up with a compiler to test it, but maybe that is at least part of the issue.
