In simplest ways I thought of:

  tcpdump -v -w file -C1   <NOT!>
  tcpdump -v -C1 -w file   <NOT!>

Both those show a usage statement.

What is the usage statement that it prints?

I don't see a usage message with those commands with the current CVS
version of tcpdump.

This wasn't cvs but version 3.4 that comes with openbsd-3.4.
Its since been answered privately that the -C flag was possiblely
disabled by openbsd developers because of a segfault problem.

I've since updated to yesterdays cvs and still having problems.
Segfault but before I call it an issue someone has pointed out I may
still be using the wrong (old version) of libpcap and to reset
LIBPATH .... I haven't gotten to that box yet but will today.
