max bpf filter size?

[Jason Haar <Jason.Haar () trimble co nz>]

 Hi there

Simple question: I have a large-and-growing BPF filter, and am getting
nervous I'm going to hit some maximum size at some time. I'm already
doing it by putting the filter into a file (ie it's not shell-bound),
but I'm guessing there's some limit? Also, I'm doing this with both
snort and daemonlogger, so don't know if there are application-specific
limits that are different from pcap library limits?

Any help appreciated :-)
