pcap_compile and tcpdump syntax

[Travis <travis () utulsa edu>]

Hello list,

Is it not correct that pcap_compile takes in a filter program with 
tcpdump syntax? If so then why is it that when I try to compile the 
program "host 129.244.241.XXX", where XXX is an actual number, does the 
compile function fail on me? I'm assuming this is something really 
stupid but it has me stumped for now. tcpdump has no problem with that 
syntax and dutifully spits out packets addressed to me.

Thanks
-Travis
