Greenwich time, since daylight saving time is in effect. But ethereal
does not care about "proper" timezone handling. This is a serious problem
for my application. I can reproduce the bug in both Windows and Linux.
My timestamps are GMT and my local machines are two hours off due to daylight saving, but ethereal is only considering the 1 hour that I live east 
of Greenwich.
I can't duplicate that. Version 0.10.3 shows the correct time, on Linux at least. I just captured a few packets, and 'tcpdump -tttt -r' showed UTC timestamps, as it should, and Ethereal showed the correct local time (CEST, 2 hours ahead of UTC).
