Hello,

I have noticed that numerous packet captures have extra data in them,
above and beyond the IP header reported length of the datagram.  This
extra data often breaks out into legible ASCII, including traffic
that would normally be seen via web surfing, DNS, FTP, SMTP etc etc
etc.

There are lots of examples, with a few detailed below.

I am not a coder so I can't help on that level, but am curious if
anyone has an idea of what is causing this.  I have seen correlation
on the Internet from other log postings with the same kind of data
appended.

I am running Slackware 7.0 with libpcap 0.6.2, precompiled and copied
over to another Slackware box.
