OK, I've seen that one after I've backed out a change I recently checked
in; without that change, before reading in the newly-captured packets,
it reset its notion of the column sizes to the sizes of the column
titles, so that the column widths it chose would take into account only
the most recent set of packets it read, so it could shrink the columns.

With my change, however, it doesn't do that.
