Hi,

 I need to know if there are problems when you use -b
 (ring buffer) with tethereal :

 - Does it lose some packets (when the file is changed) ?
 - Are there any badly recorded packets in the end of the sniff ?

 It seems that if you use NAI sniffer probes, when the probe changes
 its dump file some packets could be lost.  Is it the same with
 ethereal ?
