      Don't limit the on-the-wire length of packets to 64KB, there are larger packets
      out there (especially over USB) and we should be able to load them as long as
      they are snapped to a sane length.
    
      Also validate that packets do not specify a snapshot length larger than the one
      in the file header, though only make it a warning, as this is not necessarily a
      fatally corrupt packet.
