My only concern is that the hack means we might not, as per the comment 
from the Ethereal code, correctly handle a pre-libpcap 0.4 PPP capture. 
 I don't know whether that'd be a severe enough risk - I was a little 
nervous that tcpdump users *might* be less tolerant of that than 
Ethereal users.  So far, however, I've not seen any complaints from 
Ethereal users, so it might be that there are few enough captures of 
that sort for it to matter.
