Libpcap doesn't directly use "open()" and "write()" to write capture
files; instead, it uses "fopen()" and "fwrite()", which means that the
"standard I/O library" routines in glibc would have to use a 64-bit file
offset type internally in order to support access to files > 2GB on
32-bit Linux platforms. I don't know whether it does so; if it doesn't,
tcpdump won't support captures > 2GB on those platforms.
