Aaron,
Thanks for the speedy reply and the info.
If you're willing to try a beta version of the next release and test
the first fix that would be great. Not sure if I'll have time to add
a more descriptive error for the second message though. At this time,
I don't think I need a pcap.
I think we'll have time to test with the beta. I'm not exactly sure where
I should look for it...
Let me know where, and I'll try and get back to you as soon as possible with
our results.
Thanks again.

That bug has been fixed in the current trunk. Should work in the next
release.

This is a valid error. Unfortunately, current versions don't really
give a useful error. Adjusting the --minmask and --maxmask may help.
Alternatively, you can try something other then router/bridge mode.

Probably because tcpprep in 2.3.5 didn't do as much sanity checks to
make sure the output cache file was correct. Newer versions work
harder to make sure the result is sane or abort.

If you're willing to try a beta version of the next release and test
