Errors Using tcpdump with tcpshow

[N. Harrington]

 Hello
 For some time now I have been watching tcp dumps by
sending them through tcpshow -cooked. This has worked
quite well on BSD 4.X and also I believe 5.2.1.
 However, when I tried to do this on a 5.5 or 6.1
server, I get an error. 

 Can anyone help with why I might be getting these
errors with later versions of FreeBSD?
I have tried all I can think of.

> tcpdump -i bge1 -s 1518 -lenx | tcpshow 
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for
full protocol decode
listening on bge1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet),
capture size 1518 bytes
tcpdump: 1 packets captured
162 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
bad dump file format

 Or
>  tcpdump -i bge1 -s 1518 -lenx | tcpshow -cooked
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for
full protocol decode
listening on bge1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet),
capture size 1518 bytes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Packet 1
***Error: Badly formatted Ethernet address
1 packets captured
178 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel


 Thanks!!
