'Bad packet length' is coming from ssh (packet.c:packet_read_poll2())
and (as Yar suggested) is related to SSH's own packetisation, rather
than TCP.  The reported packet length is the 'd475 078f' immediately
above.  Note that at this stage, SSH has not negotiated encryption so
working thru a tcpdump output is still practical.

I suspect that there's a problem with the packet sizes.

All the utilities I've seen will just truncate the names.  Since we
already have 4-character interface names (eg vlan), and there will
never be more than one of these, I'd prefer to leave it as jnet.
There are a limited number of 2-letter combinations and 4 letters
is more descriptive.

(I would far prefer that "vlan" be truncated to something shorter
so that my daily reports don't have 48 lines stating 'vlan1').
