Title: Tethereal statistics error ?

Hello,

Maybe I found an error in tethereal statistic analysis.

tethereal -R "null" -r 001_p1-249999.dmp -z io,stat,7200,0,"tcp.analysis.retransmission&&ip.dst==2.2.2.2"

When I use the same display filter in ethereal I will get only 30 matches.
The retransmissionanalysis with tethereal lists all retransmissions of the trace file.

Is this an error of tethereal or do I make a mistake in my tethereal filterstring ?
