Maybe you could try capturing without the ringbuffer options temporarily to see whether the problem might somehow be related to ringbuffer capturing or not? Or try without the -B option to see if that makes any difference? Or try to capture in pcapng format instead of pcap format to see if that clears up the problem or if it's something common to either format?

The problem is that neither Sake nor I know why the trace is corrupted. From
the code it looks impossible that dumpcap generated such corrupted capture.
