Wesley, it seems like a good idea.
I can't look at your patch from the cottage, since I squirt out bits
only once a day by walking down the road to where there is some wifi.

Since pcap files have no end of file marker, and each file
has a header on it, do you look at the beginning of each packet, and see
if there is a pcap magic number?

(pcap-ng doesn't have this problem, and I appologize to the pcap-ng
folks for how long it's taken to move towards it)
