ulogd2-pcap - tcpdump unknown file format



Hi,

I'm logging dropped packets with ulogd2 into a pcap file so that tcpdump
should be able to read it.
At some point tcpdump is not anymore able to read the file and quits
with "unknown file format".

The file command instead is printing a correct header:
/var/log/ulog/ulogd.pcap: tcpdump capture file (little-endian) - version
2.4 (raw IP, capture length 65536)

Also I still can have the file open and see packets beeing logged but
when I try to open a new tcpdump in another shell I get the error.
When I delete the file and start a new one everything is to be working
again.

Is anyone else also facing this error?
Ideas for starting debugging which is causing the error?

Packet details:
tcpdump: 4.6.2-5+deb8u1
ulogd2: 2.0.4-2+deb8u1
ulogd2-pcap: 2.0.4-2+deb8u1
iptables: 1.4.21-2+b1
Kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64

Cheers
Flo
