We've got a setup where one box is doing a capture with tcpdump -w -, and
streaming it out to a file on a different box for analysis.  Right now,
once the file is opened, you have to keep hitting refresh to update, and
it complains that a packet got cut off (which is true).

How hard would it be to teach ethereal to read a stream in from a file as
a live capture?
