RH has a standard limit of 2GB for file size.  You'll need to rotate the
logfiles or the pcap files that have become larger than 2GB.  Either that
or rebuild your kernel to support larger files, but that's a bit of
overkill...  You can rotate logs a lot quicker and simpler than rebuilding
the entire kernel.

Cheers!
