Just out of curiosity, can tcpdump (with "-s 65535", if no snapshot
length was specified in Ethereal, or with "-s" specifying the same
snapshot length, if a snapshot length was specified) or Tethereal do
better?  (I.e., is this an Ethereal issue, or a libpcap/underlying-packet-
capture-mechanism issue?)

I.e., the file is 9GB in size?
