This seems to fail for me on the "breaks" between files with the error:

pcap_loop:  truncated dump file

I assume that this has to do with the little header that tcpdump adds to 
the beginning of each file, i.e. I can mergecap them and run them 
through just fine.  Is there something that I am missing beyond 'cat 
*.pcap | snort -r -'?  Would a newer libpcap solve the problem?

Snort 1.9.1, fairly stock RH8.0.
