As an experiment, changing BPF_MAXBUFSIZE to 1MB, and changing libpcap
to use a 1MB buffer, on FreeBSD? (That might help the "whole packet
dumped" test.)

Somehow measuring how large the byte count in the capture file "write()"
calls in FreeBSD and "WriteFile()" calls are?  (FreeBSD is probably
doing 8K writes, assuming it's writing to an 8K/1K file system; I don't
know what block size the MSVC++ version of the standard I/O library
uses, but it might well use bigger chunks than 8K.)

I'm not sure the parts of the OS that are actually involved are
particularly object-oriented; I have the impression most of the COM,
etc. stuff lives well up in userland on Windows.
