------- Comment #2 from sake@xxxxxxxxxx  2008-01-08 14:22 GMT -------
Actually, your trace does not contain a jumbo frame. It contains a fragmented
ip packet. A jumbo frame is an ethernet frame that exceeds 1514 bytes (FCS
excluded) whereas all the ethernet-frames within your trace have a length less
or equal  1518 bytes.

When only displayed frames are saved, the IP-fragments not containing the
ip-headers will not be saved. This is a known limitation/bug/enhancement
request. I will leave this bug open with an altered Summary so that it will not
be forgotten. But I think it will not be solved quickly.
