Yes, I think that's the reason, we were trying to stay compatible to
older pcaps for a while. It should be safe to switch to pcap_next_ex()
now, but I'd like to understand the underlying problem here. I don't
think we have seen this problem reported from elsewhere yet. Could
this be an artifact of the VM setting?
