Are you sure the trace has packet payloads? The other question is  
whether it's unidirectional, as above\_hole\_data\_without\_any\_acks indicates  
the analyzer is only seeing one side of a connection (or is processing  
a trace with heavy measurement loss).

If the above aren't the problem, then please send a snippet to me (or the list)  
so we can see about reproducing what's going on.
