I would probably get rid of the old releases, putting them in an archive 
folder (like I do for WinPcap). Also, I would rename the "TCPDUMP 3.9 / 
LIBPCAP 0.9" section specifying the specific version 3.9.8/0.9.8. (The 
current title is kinda confusing for me).

Would it be possible to fix such archives?

Who gets notified about bug reports on sourceforge? the notifications don't 
seem to reach the mailing list, so it looks like the bugs report on 
sourceforge is a sort of black hole...

Have a nice day
