Problem using tcpdump with tcpshow (from ports) - get errors

[N. Harrington]

  Hello
  For some time now I have been watching tcp dumps by
 sending them through tcpshow -cooked. (from the ports
tree) This has worked quite well on BSD 4.X and also I
believe 5.2.1.

  However, now when I try 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!!
 
    Nicole
