what is the MTU size of the interface you are using for receiving packets?

I am seeing packet truncated with standard ethernet as the following shows:


**WARNING** packet truncated (12325->8232)

Snort is not firing any of the malformed packet rules so I'm pretty confident the packets are "stable" .  I hesitate to say "correct".

Looking in the pbuf.c I see the following clip.  Should the IP only flag turn off the len condition or turn it on?

    if(myGlobals.runningPref.printIpOnly) {
      /* When we do Fibre Channel, the end of the packet contains EOF
       * information and so truncating it isn't a good idea.
       */
      if(len >= DEFAULT_SNAPLEN) len = DEFAULT_SNAPLEN-1;
    }

Any other ideas?
