Ethereal doesn't care how big the packet is (after all, you could be
sending those packets over a link layer *other* than Ethernet).

Are you saying that it *doesn't* correctly parse those packets, or are
you just speculating that it *might* not correctly parse those packets?

If the former, please send us a capture file, so we can debug it.

If the latter, first check whether it *does* have a problem:

	if so, send us the capture file;

	if not, Don't Worry, Be Happy.
