[Oisf-devel] Packet Array in 1.0.x

I'm seeing multiple problems with the array that was added to
PcapThreadVars_. 

I either exhaust memory completely or segfault. I think they both stem
from the same issue with is that the array seems to keep filling and
eventually there is an access outside of PCAP_FILE_MAX_PKTS (256) which
causes the segfaults.

Is the array supposed to hold a finite number of past packets ie. 256 or
whatever PCAP_FILE_MAX_PKTS is set to? If so then I suppose a modulus
operator or some kind of reset is needed.
