What happens if you try to do

        tcpdump -s 65535 -i ib0

I very strongly suspect you'll get the same "ioctl: Value too large for 
defined data type" message.

If so, this is a libpcap issue.  I'll send you the URL for a tarball 
with the source to a new version of libpcap with better debugging 
information (i.e., saying *which* ioctl was having the problem).  You'll 
have to build that, along with tcpdump, and try capturing with the new 
tcpdump.
