There is code to attempt to nandle them, which makes some assumptions
that might not be true (i.e., that FDDI iptrace files look like Ethernet
iptrace files, only with a different encapsulation type and with the raw
Ethernet data replaced by raw FDDI data; perhaps, for example, they put
1 or 3 bytes of padding in front of the raw FDDI data to align it
better).

Yes - please send a trace file to the list.  (I cannot guarantee that I
will look into it soon, and even if I will, sending it to me only at
home or only at work runs the risk of delaying my looking at it, so send
the reply to the list, *not* just to me.)
