The problem isn't the extension - Wireshark doesn't care what the file's
extension is, it tries to determine the file type based *only* on the file's
contents - it's the format in which the file is written.  DisplayARP.cap is in
Tektronix K12 text output format, which, for various reasons, ends up being the
default or, at least, the first format displayed even if the file can be saved
in its own format.

There may also be a bug in the code that writes K12 text format or that reads
K12 text format causing frame 4 to be malformed.
