I found a bug in tethereal. It basically has to do with the time delta
displayed with the -V option.

For an example:

1) Get the sample capture file named teardrop.cap from www.ethereal.com.
2) Load the teardrop.cat using ethereal. Notice that the delta time on
packets 10 and 11 are 4.67 and 0.99 seconds.
3) Run '/usr/sbin/tethereal -r teardrop.cap -V', and look at the delta
time on packets 10 and 11. Its off by +1 seconds.

The delta time in ethereal is correct but the one in tethereal is not.
