...with the "-S" option, otherwise tcpdump *also* maintains state
(per-connection state, so it can show relative sequence numbers).

(I assume it's not being run when writing to a capture file; if tcpdump is
being run with "-w" and a given capture filter, it won't maintain
per-connection state, as it doesn't dissect packets - but the same is true
of tethereal, so tcpdump vs. tethereal makes no difference in that case).
