Date and time stamps come from libpcap, which gets them from the
underlying capture mechanism; if you're getting bad date/time stamps,
that's a problem with the underlying capture mechanism.

If you're capturing on Windows, try capturing with WinDump and, if the
same problem occurs, report it as a WinPcap problem:

If you're capturing on some flavor of UNIX, ask the supplier of the UNIX
system about it (note that you're using libpcap).
