I have files captured by NA's distributed sniffer pro (version 4.2 and 4.5
or .7).
 
When I read them with Ethereal (version 0.9.x) or convert them with editcap,
the timestamps are garbled:  The day is right; the time is off by hours and
the fraction of a second is negative.
 
I've followed the discussion from 2 years ago, but what I read doesn't
square with what I'm seeing in the packet headers.
 
Is this still a problem for others?

PS... I have some sample files and printouts from Sniffer with their version
of the timestamps that I can post to an FTP server (it's a couple meg,
zipped)
