Changing the savefiles produces packet loss

[David Rosal <david.rosal () upf edu>]

Hello.

I've been capturing heavy traffic with tcpdump.

No packets are dropped except when the savefiles are rotated. I know 
that because I use a modified version of tcpdump-3.9.4 that prints 
statistics every minute.

My question is, is it normal to loose packets when closing and opening
the savefiles? How could I avoid that?

Thanks in advance for any help.
