Is there any way to have tethereal read from STDIN? I'm having trouble 
reading from large gziped tcpdump files:

  "tethereal: The file "./tcp.nnnn.gz" could not be opened: Value too 
large for defined data type."

The files in question are 10 to 15 gigs in size.

Yet I cannot pipe to tethereal because of the file-type determination seeks.

Perhaps there could be an option where you can just tell tethereal what 
type of file is being read, and having been so infomred it will skip the 
initial seeks?

Any help would be appreciated. Please retain my email in responses as

Thanks you,
