Well, that's weird.

I can't either.

The snoop file reader hadn't changed in a way to make a difference
there, either.  (The message the snoop file reader would report would
either be

	snoop: network type N unknown or unsupported

or

	snoop: Shomiti network type N unknown or unsupported

depending on whether the file looked as if it were a real snoop file or
a Shomiti modified snoop file (a "real snoop file" comes from snoop or
atmsnoop on SunOS 5.x; Shomiti apparently didn't understand that the
encapsulation types listed in RFC 1761 were just DLPI DL_ types and that
more types might be added - some types for ATM were later added, and Sun
used one of them for atmsnoop captures).
