Thanks Perry you are right.

In fact I sent the patches to LBL first - who gave that reason.  So I
PR'd them incase anyone in NetBSD land wanted them - they were
rejected for the same reason (or more correctly as you've pointed out
because LBL didn't want them).

_Eventually_ I'll add the functionality to the current tcpdump and put
the patches up for ftp here.
