Hum, this is interesting...  windump displays the time correctly but,
Ethereal still displays the time incorrectly when reading the windump
capture file.  ftp'ing the windump.cap file to Linux and reading it with
tcpdump, tcpdump displays the times incorrectly too.  I created a dump
file using tcpdump on Linux and ftp'ed it to windows.  Windump could
not read the dump file from tcpdump but, Ethereal could and, it displayed
the times correctly!  So, the problem must be outside of Ethereal.

Thanks for the explanation.
