When writing the PCAP file start (through libpcap_write_file_header() or
pcapng_write_interface_description_block()) text2pcap sets the snap length to
PCAP_SNAPLEN (=64k). On the other hand when writing frame data the size (unless
using option -m) is limited by WTAP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE_STANDARD (=256k). This
allows for larger frames written to the capture file then the snaplength would
suggest (allow?).
