Graham, I meant to reply before, but got side-tracked I guess.  I'm not really
seeing this with the capture files I have, but of course that doesn't mean it's
not happening with other capture files or that I'm simply missing it in those I
do have.

Anyway, maybe you want to open up a bug report about this and post a sample
capture file that illustrates these potential bugs?
