So in my understanding pcap_dispatch must have supplied a wrong value of phdr->caplen for it to to faultly written to file. However this contradicts with the fact that the whole packet is indeed written after the header, because the following code should have trimmed the data to phr->caplen:

The packet header is:
BE 47 F1 4B FF ED 0B 00 62 00 00 00 66 00 00 00

ie incl_len is 98, while orig_len is 102

And the packet data is:
01 00 5E 00 05 DD 00 12 DA 9F 79 1B 08 00
45 00 00 58 00 00 40 00 18 11 7F A4 C6 8C 36 87 E0 00 05 DD
7E 35 20 1D 00 44 9F 74
00 3A 00 8C 00 0F DF 77 02 16 2C E4 6B 01 01 00 02 16 2C E2 00 00 00 00 00 05 30 20 00 00 00 07 00 05 2F 58 00 00 00 02 04 4E 45 52 43 41 48 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

ie 14 bytes ethernet header, 20 bytes IP header, 8 bytes UDP header and 60 bytes payload => 102 (0x66) bytes in total

Cheers,
