[nycbug-talk] some C help?

[Brian A. Seklecki]

There's no harm (performance) in defaulting to a larger snaplen regardless 
of #ifdef INET6.

If anything, it should be a runtime check against the interface type!

Besides, shops that use tcpdump in extreme high performance environments 
are going to run a custom build out of Ports/Pkgsrc anyway, not the 
in-tree one.

But I guess that's up to the maintainers.
