Do you have more information on that bug?  It should perhaps go into the 
FAQ, as people periodically complain about Ethereal mishandling Sniffer 
time stamps - if it's due to a bug, there might not be much we can do 
about it (other than adding the ability to add per-capture-file-type 
options to the open dialog and command line, and add an option to 
control whether to work around the bug, although, for that, we'd need to 
know the details of the bug), and in at least one case I think somebody 
said that *Sniffer* was also mishandling time stamps, suggesting that it 
is, indeed, a bug.

(It'd be nice to close this issue once and for all.)
