>Description:

When tcpdump reads captured data from a file, hitting ^T results in an
endless stream of:

pcap_stats: Statistics aren't available from savefiles

presumably one for each packet processed.  These can generate a *lot* of
output when processing large pcap input files, so we should try to limit
their number or even better, to print the error just once.
