Hi Folks,

I get the following error whenever I try and stop capturing:

  Message: pcap: File has 103768064-byte packet, bigger than maximum of 65535

ethereal then complains the capture buffer is corrupt.  This is running
0.8.19 under FreeBSD (it's actually listed as 0.8.19_1).  Does anyone have
any clues for this hapless user?

thanks very much,
mb
