That's understandable. I don't know if you have a way to (a) do incremental
redraws, or (b) trigger a redraw when it's "done", but if not, then (c) it
probably oughta be documented... somewhere..

I'm on Windows XP SP2.  It seems to be the same hostnames every time for a
given file; for example, on one file I'm using (file_0001_20080106173526.cap,
for my own future reference), 64.78.155.106 (host106.newsgator.com) doesn't get
resolved.

It looks like this may be an ADNS library bug; "adnshost" under both cygwin
(1.4 built from source) and Ubuntu (1.1 installed from apt-get) say there are
"inconsistent resource records in DNS", but I can't find any inconsistencies. 
I've reported that upstream.
