	From an experiment earlier today I think the limit is 256. I set 
-U 512 (up from -U 256) but the maximum capture buffer I saw on ra was less
than 256 (although that may have been operator error). Pfring is set to 
capture the entire packet if asked (and will on tcpdump) so it shouldn't have
been a libpcap issue I don't think.
