Steve,

I think there is something weird going on. I'm using rev 24375

I captured a bunch of ethernet packets, when I ask to save the file in 
pcap-ng format, the timestamps on the screen become all the same (1969-12-31 
16:00:00.000000).

I checked with my other tool, but unfortunately it only reads captures with 
nanosecond precision. So I checked with an hex editor, and the timestamp on 
the packets (well, at least the first packet) is 0.

Let me know if you need any help.

Have a nice day
GV
