    Attached is a very simple tcpdump capture file
    (tcpdump 3.6.2, libpcap 0.6.2):

    [root@pandora /root]# tcpdump -r output -n

    It works with [t]ethereal as well, but tcptrace doesn't like it:
    [root@pandora /root]# tcptrace output
    1 arg remaining, starting with 'output'
    Ostermann's tcptrace -- version 6.0.1 -- Mon Dec 3, 2001

    Fatal, too many hosts to name (max length 8)

    I read in the mailing archives that another user had this problem too, but found
    no solution.

    Any clues?
