Given that he says he's reading libpcap captures, not iptrace captures,
I suspect my fix *won't* solve this, as I changed only the iptrace
packet reading code.

I suspect AIX is once again being non-standard and putting 3 padding
bytes at the beginning of each packet's data (or not *removing* that
padding).  Perhaps it is trying to be "helpful", *the fact that standard
libpcap, when reading an FDDI capture, will align packets on a 4-byte
boundary nonwithstanding*.

I will look into this when I can.  However, I expect to be at IETF
through Thursday, leaving on Sunday, so unless I get time to look at it
Saturday, I probably won't do anything about it until late next week -
and as much of Saturday will be devoted to getting a bunch of things
done that I've been neglecting, and preparing for my trip, as well as
catching dinner and a movie, there's no guarantee that I'll get time to
look at it Saturday.
