tshark cannot read large files in Linux systems. It ends with the following
type of text::::
tshark: The file "/home/sniff/062808133631.enc" could not be opened: Value too
large for defined data type.

It would be very useful for Wireshark utilities to be able to read files that
are several giga bytes.

[rkhan@sniff02 ~]$ ls -l /home/sniff/062808133631.enc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2255369942 Jun 28 13:55 /home/sniff/062808133631.enc
