At a guess, you didn't change the "snaplen" (the number of bytes of 
each packet to save) from its default (which is roughly 64 bytes, as I 
recall).  Check the doc to find out how to change that.  You'll want to 
set that value to something at most the MTU for the device you are 
'sniffing' (e.g., 1500 bytes for ethernet).
