I have recently started experimenting with libpcap, and I have noticed a few
things.  Please let me know if it is system or operator error.

I am working on Linux 7.1 with 2.4. kernel, and the current libpcap.

I've built a sniffer based on libpcap, but I am having problems with large
packets.  For example, when I execute the following ping command while
monitoring the results with my app, tcpdump, and snort, I get all the
packets as expected.

ping localhost -s 30000 -c 1

But if I increase the size to 35000, I begin to loose the 0 offset packet.
If I increase it to 60000, I get zero packets.  The results are the same for
all three applications.

Has anyone found similar problems?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Rob
