Package: tethereal
Version: 0.9.13-1
Severity: normal
tethereal's -z option appears to be ignored when the -w option is used.
e.g. (following is reading from a file, same happens w/ live capture)
$ tethereal -r /tmp/t.pcap -z io,phs
1 0.000000 10000002.0020ed282509 -> 10000002.Broadcast IPX RIP Response
...

I only want the stats, and discard the packet output: (same thing
happens if a regular file is given instead of /dev/null, of course):
$ tethereal -r /tmp/t.pcap -w /dev/null -z io,phs

Also, there is a problem in that -w - will direct the (binary) packet
output to stdout (as per the man page), and the text stats output will
get appended. i.e. the stats data should be to a different file
descriptor, or suppressed completely, when -w - is given. Or best of
all a -Z option to direct stats to a file :-)
