Title: tethereal io,stat disregard filtering

Hi,

I try to generate statistics for a huge amount of log files (aroung 40 Gb in multiple files).

I would like to have the io stat for different criterias (multiple filters) with the numbers of frames for each.  This is clearly explained as possible in the man page using -z io,stat,interval[,filter][,filter][,filter].  There should be one column for each filter.  However, the filters are disregarded and I always get a single column, the total of all packets.

I installed the latest ethereal version 0.10.10 (previous version: 0.10.5) and I have the same behaviour.

I searched on the web to see if it was a known bug and found nothing.

Below, you can find the commands I use and the output is always the same.  I'm pretty sure I use the right filters (read filters).

Ca anyone shed some light on this behaviour?

Thanks,

Example output:
No filter.  This is ok.
