The pcap_stats man page should be updated to give more detail in  
general, including that.  I've done that as well.

I also fixed some places where pcap_stats() was leaving ps_ifdrop  
unset, and changed tcpdump to report ps_ifdrop if it's non-zero (and  
to set it to zero before calling pcap_stats(), to handle the platforms  
where it was being left unset).
