Sake,
Thanks a lot for all of your help with this one. I'm putting an e-mail together to send off to winpcap now.
Thanks again,
Joe

Since that is the latest version, you might want to contact winpcap-users@xxxxxxxxxxx for further assistance.
FYI I used a hex-editor to fix the "captured length" and was able to read the first 12895 frames of the file, but then there was another occurrence of this issue.
Cheers,
Sake

However, you were not using a snap length and the tracefile actually contains all 102 bytes. This looks like a bug in WinPcap. Which version of WinPcap are you using? I'm not sure but I believe there were some issues with earlier 64 bit versions of WinPcap.

The traffic is very bursty and the data rate is around 200mb/sec. I switched from a Broadcom NIC to Intel NIC to see if that would help but no luck on that change either.

The error message that you get usually appears after the file has been transferred to another host with FTP in ASCII mode instead of BINARY mode.
