Thanks for the bug report. I fixed the problem with the Open and Close
menu items. Attached is the patch to file.c.
With regards to your tcpdump-related Reload problem, I don't quite
understand the problem. I'm not seeing that behavior here. I could
explain away the problem if your tcpdump capture contained only the TCP
packets in that conversation to begin with. Can you explain the problem
in more detail?
