I've just upgraded wireshark via MacPorts to version 1.2.6 on a PPC MacOS 10.4.11 system with Xcode 2.5 installed. Previous pcap files which were readable in prior versions suddenly cannot be read. I'm getting this error:

The capture file appears to be damaged or corrupt (pcap: File has 4294901760-byte packet, bigger than maximum of 65535)

Does something need to be tweaked in Wireshark since this pcap file has been untouched. It also gives me a similar error (the number of 4294901760 just changes) if I download a sample pcap file from <http://wiki.wireshark.org/SampleCaptures>.
