I did file a report with netapp, but i still wanted to find out about ways of 
reading everything else except for the broken packet. Using editcap and 
creating a new file worked just like you mentioned. I am able to get the stats 
now.

Thanks very much,

Then there's a bug on the filer; you should report it to NetApp.  It 
might not be writing out the last bufferful of packet data (which means 
there might be some packets that are *completely* missing from the file).

You can throw away the incomplete packet at the end - have editcap read 
the file and write it to another file; it'll print an error, but it'll 
just copy the complete packets to the output file.

Then read the output file with tshark.
