bb0c175 by Guy Harris (guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx):

    Strengthen the heuristics for pcap subtypes.
    
    When trying to guess what type of capture a file is, look for as many
    bogosities (caplen > len, microseconds >= 10^6/nanoseconds >= 10^9,
    too-high caplen, too-high original len, caplen > snapshort length), to
    increase the chances of guessing correctly.
    
    (Every time somebody uses 0xa1b2c3d4 as the magic number for a capture
    file that isn't standard pcap format, God kills a kitten.  Please, think
    of the kittens.)
