Hello All,

             When I run tethereal with -S option it works fine. But with -c
option it gives only half of the packets from what we specied.

Eg:

# tethereal -c 10 -S -w test.pcap

# tethereal -r test.pcap

  2   0.002250 172.16.1.158 -> 172.16.1.26  TELNET Telnet Data ...
  3   0.002415 172.16.1.158 -> 172.16.1.26  TELNET Telnet Data ...
  4   0.002554 172.16.1.158 -> 172.16.1.26  TELNET Telnet Data ...
  5   0.002689  172.16.1.26 -> 172.16.1.158 TCP 1438 > telnet [ACK] Seq=0
Ack=9 Win=16576 Len=0

Why it is like that?
I did this test in HP-UX PA 11.11 machine.

Thanks in advance,
Durai.
