tracediff - find and print differences between two traces
tracediff [ -m maxdiff ] firsturi seconduri
tracediff compares two trace files and prints the details of packets that differ
to standard output. This is useful for finding packets that are present in one
trace but not another or for finding conversion or snapping errors.
- -m maxdiff
- stop processing after displaying 'maxdiff' differences

Not exactly a bug, but the contents of the framing headers (i.e. the PCAP or ERF
encapsulation) are not compared.
